Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.016 g (0.034 mmole) of 2-(S)-(3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyloxy)-4-(methoxy-carbonylmethyl)-3-(S)-phenylmorpholine (from Example 46) in 2 mL of THF and 0.5 mL of water was treated with 0.027 mL (0.067 mmole) of 2.5N aqueous sodium hydroxide and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hr. The mixture was treated with 2 drops of 2N aqueous HCl and 3 mL of water and the solution was extracted with 15 mL of 1:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chormatography on 13 g of silica eluting with 250 mL of 100:3:0.1 methylene chloride:methanol:acetic acid then 100 mL of 50:2:0.1 methylene chloride:methanol:acetic acid to give 0.014 g (90%) of an oil.
