    A convergent synthesis of (<i>S</i>)-(4-benzylmorpholin-2-yl)­(morpholino)­methanone methanesulfonate (<b>1</b>), a key regulatory starting material for edivoxetine·HCl, was developed at Eli Lilly & Company. This novel synthesis utilizes d-serine as the source of chirality, which is preserved throughout the synthesis. Key features include the development of a scalable diazotization process to produce (<i>S</i>)-epoxy acid <b>7</b>, which was optimized to improve the process safety profile. The final (<i>S</i>)-morpholino acid intermediate <b>11</b> was converted to the title compound using T3P with >99.9% purity in 75% yield. Life cycle analysis of the new route revealed a 69% reduction in global warming potential (GWP) for solvent usage relative to the prior route of manufacture
