Methanesulfonic Acid → HCID 86605368, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 78.0 mg (0.0869 mmol) of Ru(OCOCH3)2((R)-tol-binap), 1.00 g (8.69 mmol) of methyl 3-aminocrotonate, 0.83 g (8.69 mmol) of methanesulfonic acid and 5 ml of methanol were placed in a stainless steel autoclave, and the mixture was kept at 50° C. under 3 MPa pressure of hydrogen for 15 hours with stirring. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was distilled off, and the residue was recrystallized from methanol/ethyl acetate to give the objective methyl (R)-3-aminobutanoate methanesulfonate (1.135 g, white crystals). The yield was 61.3%.
