Reaction Steps

N-[(2RS, 3RS)-2,3-Epoxy-3-phenylpropyl]trifluoroacetamide (9 g) are added to 3 N aqueous potassium hydroxide (12.8 cc). After 7 minutes' stirring at a temperature in the region of 20° C., the solution obtained is saturated with sodium chloride and then extracted with dichloromethane (2×100 cc). The organic phases are combined, dried over magnesium sulphate and then filtered, thereby forming a methylene chloride solution of (2RS, 3RS)-2,3-epoxy-3-phenylpropanamine (solution B).
