反応条件

反応手順

A mixture of (S)-2-[4-(2-fluorobenzyloxy)benzylideneamino]propanamide (IIIb) prepared as described above (30 g) and methanol (180 mL) is cooled under stirring to 2-5° C. Sodium borohydride (3.8 g) is added in eighteen small portions in 90 min to the previously prepared cold mixture keeping the temperature below 5° C. The mixture is then stirred for additional 10 min at 5° C. The reaction mixture is concentrated under vacuum and worked up as described in Example 2 to provide 28.75 g (95% yield) of (S)-2-[4-(2-fluorobenzyloxy)benzylamino]propanamide (ralfinamide, Ib) with a HPLC purity of 99.5 (area %) determined according to the method of Example 25A and a C,O-dialkylated (5)-2-[3-(2-fluorobenzyl)-4-(2-fluorobenzyloxy)-benzylamino]propanamide content less than 0.005% by weight determined by HPLC, according to the method of Example 25B.
