Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ((S)-1-hydroxymethyl-3,3-dimethyl-butyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (200 mg, 0.605 mmol) in dioxane (4 mL) was added HCl (4N in dioxane, 6.05 mL, 24.21 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at RT overnight and concentrated to give the desired material as a white powder which was used without further purification in the next. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ (ppm): 7.79 (bs, 3H), 5.37 (m, 1H), 3.60 (m, 1H), 3.40 (overlap with water, m, 1H), 3.09 (m, 1H), 1.47 (dd, 1H), 1.33 (dd, 1H), 0.92 (s, 9H).
