Reaction Steps

Benzyl chloroformate (24.18 mL, 169.4 mmol) was added dropwise to a biphasic system of water (300 mL) and CH2Cl2 (150 mL) containing 8-amino-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carbonitrile (28 g, 154 mmol) and Na2CO3.H2O (22.9 g, 185 mmol) at 0° C. and stirred for 2 h. The mixture was then allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 18 h. The mixture was then diluted with CH2Cl2 (250 mL), washed with sat. NaHCO3 (200 mL), water (200 mL), followed by brine (100 mL) then dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated to give a brown oil. Flash chromatography on silica gel (using a 5% to 40% ethyl acetate-hexane gradient) afforded the title compound as a white solid (45 g, 92% yield). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 7.30-7.35 (m, 5H), 5.11 (s, 2H), 4.90 (brs, 1H), 3.86-3.96 (m, 4H), 2.36-2.41 (m, 2H), 1.84-2.01 (m, 4H), 1.73-1.76 (m, 2H). LCMS (M+H)=317.30.
