“…To a solution of ethyl thiomorpholine-3-carboxylate 72 44 (15.5 g, 0.11 mol) in CHCl 3 , NaHCO 3 (9.2 g, 0.11 mol), and NaCl (22 g) in H 2 O (168 mL), followed by (Boc) 2 O (26.4 g, 0.12 mol), were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux for 4 h. The aqueous phase was washed with CHCl 3 , and the organic phase was washed with brine, dried (Na 2 SO 4 ), and evaporated under reduced pressure.…”
