Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Benzyl chloroformate (2.2 mL, 15.4 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-amino-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (2 g, 14.0 mmol) in a mixture of 1,4-dioxane (5 mL) and saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution (5 mL). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 3 hours. Dioxane was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The ethyl acetate solution was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to give 2.3 g (59%) of 4-benzyloxycarbonylamino-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid as yellow oil.
