Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(2-(Benzyl((S)-1-hydroxypropan-2-yl)amino)-1-hydroxyethyl)pyridine 1-oxide (7 g, 23.17 mmol) was dissolved in 70% sulfuric acid (70 mL) and the mixture was heated at reflux for 7 h. The mixture was cooled and then was diluted with water, neutralized with an aqueous sodium carbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by alumina chromatography (1% methanol in dichloromethane) to afford 2-((5S)-4-benzyl-5-methylmorpholin-2-yl)pyridine 1-oxide as a yellow liquid (3 g, 45%).
