Synthesis and resolution of 3-substituted morpholine appetite suppressants and chiral synthesis via O-arylhomoserines
Abstract
The synthesis and resolution of potential appetite suppressant 3-(2-aryloxyethyl)morpholines is described. Assignment of the absolute configuration of the resolved enantiomers is based on a chiral synthesis from O-phenylhomoserines of known configuration. Appetite suppressant effects in dogs are briefly reported.
