N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-N-phenylglycine → n-Boc-n-cyclohexylglycine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 5% rhodium/alumina (3.00 g) is added to a solution of DL-N-tert-butoxycarbonylphenylglycine in ethanol (80 ml). The atmosphere is replaced with pressurized hydrogen (4.0 kgf/cm2) and stirred for ten days. The 5% rhodium/alumina is filtered out. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the titled reference compound (25.0 g).
