Abstract
A process is described for the preparation of (+)-2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-hydroxybutylamine (I) by reaction of 3,4-dichlorophenylacetonitrile (II) with an alkali metal halogenoacetate, treatment of the 3-cyano-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)propionic acid (III) with D-(-)-N-methylglucamine, with second-order asymmetric conversion, hydrolysis of the D-(-)-N-methylglucamine salt of (-)-3-cyano-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)propionic acid and enantioconservative reduction of the resulting levorotatory cyanoacid with a borane.
