Chiral beta-amino alcohols are widely recognized as effective chiral auxiliaries for a variety of asymmetric organic transformations. Recently, (1R,2R,4S)-1-methyl-4-(1-methylethenyl)-2-(4-morpholinyl)cyclohexanol has been reported to be an effective chiral auxiliary for the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde and the asymmetric addition of lithium cyclopropylacetylide to 4-(trifluoromethyl)-2(1H)-quinazolinones. This paper describes the scale-up of the reaction of morpholine with cis/trans-(S)-(-)-limonene oxide (99% ee) in the presence of water to produce 125 g of (1R,2R,4S)-1-methyl-4-(1-methylethenyl)2-(4-morpholinyl)cyclohexanol of 99.6% diastereomeric purity.
