To a solution of (±)-(2R*,3R*)-2-methyl-2-nitro-1,3-butanediol (11B, 13.93 g, 0.093 mol) in 95% EtOH (120 mL) was added glacial acetic acid (17 mL) and 10% Pd/C (MCB, 1.0 g). The mixture was reduced in a Parr apparatus at 50 psi of H2 for 48 h. The catalyst was then removed by filtration on a Celite® pad and the solvent removed to give the crude amine salt. Three portions of PhCH3 (50 mL) were added to the flask and removed by rotary evaporation to remove final traces of H2O and acetic acid. The residue, a viscous oil gradually solidified under high vacuum. The solid was triturated with Et2O, filtered and the resulting solid further washed with Et2O to give after drying, 16.23 g (97%) of (±)-(2R*3R*)-2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-butanediol acetate, mp 117°-121°, (C,H,N).
