Reaktionsschritte

Add a solution of 4-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-benzonitrile (1 g, 4.58 mmol) in THF/iso-propanol (1:1, 142 mL) to 10% Pd/C (Degussa type E101, 0.56 g, 0.26 mmol) via syringe under N2. Purge the reaction mixture with nitrogen and submit the mixture to hydrogenation at 50 psi overnight. Filter the catalyst through Celite® and wash thoroughly with iso-propanol (100 mL) and THF (100 mL). Concentrate in vacuo and purify the crude mixture by chromatography on silica gel eluting with DCM/2M ammonia in methanol (1:0 to 95:5 gradient over 30 min; 95:5 over 3 min; 95:5 to 9:1 gradient over 30 min and 9:1 over 30 min) to obtain the desired intermediate (0.364 g, 36%). MS (ES−) m/z: 220.1 (M−2H)−.
