General Procedure for the Synthesis of N-Boc Morpho-
lines 8, 9, 10, 11 and 22. Diol was stirred in a thick-
walled sealable tube as 1.0 mL of conc. H2SO4 was added
ꢀ
slowly. The tube was sealed and heated at 140 C. After

cation (2017R1D1A1B03035502)
7 h, the dark brown mixture was cooled to room tempera-
ture and then poured portion-wise into an ice-cold solution
of KOH. To the solution was added di-tert-butyl dicarbo-
nate (3.0 equiv) and the mixture was stirred at room tem-
perature overnight. The reaction mixture was extracted with
diethyl ether and the combined organic extracts were dried
(MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. Chro-
matographic separation on silica gel afforded highly dia-
stereoenriched morpholines.

provided in the substitution of both 1 and 2 with various amine
nucleophiles. We confirmed the relative configuration of mor-
