Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1R,3S,5R)-5-methyl-2-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid 2-tert-butyl ester 3-ethyl ester (185 mg, 0.69 mmol) in MeOH (1.1 mL), THF (1.1 mL) and H2O (1.1 mL) was added KOH (77 mg, 1.37 mmol). The solution was stirred 2.5 h at RT, HCl (0.1N) was added (until pH 1), CH2Cl2 was added and the layers were separated (×2). The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The material (yellow oil) thus obtained was used without further purification in the next step. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ (ppm): 12.46 (m, 1H), 3.86 (m, 1H), 3.06 (m, 1H), 2.40 (dd, 1H), 1.86 (m, 1H), 1.37 (m, 9H), 1.18 (s, 3H) 0.65 (m, 2H).
