Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

N-(benzyloxy)-6-(BOC-amino)hexanamide (5.65 g, 16.8 mmol) was dissolved in methylene chloride (40 mL), and the resulting solution thus obtained was cooled at 0° C. The trifluoroacetic acid (2.5 mL, 34 mmol, 2.0 eq.) was added thereto slowly and stirred at room temperature for 24 hrs. The reaction proceeded until no starting material was detectable by TLC. The resulting reaction mixture thus obtained was distilled under a reduced pressure to remove the solvent and thus obtained the title compound quantitatively.
