Procedure

A suspension of the amino-carboxylate 2 (13.3 g, 39.1 mmol) in 155 ml of ethanol was cooled to 0° C. and isoamyl nitrite (18.0 ml, 134 mmol) was added followed by dropwise addition of 15% ethanolic HCl (125 ml) during 1 hour. The resulting brown slurry was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours more, and was then added gradually to a vigorously stirred suspension of copper powder (1.8 g) in a solution of NaH2PO2.H2O (41.4 g, 391 mmol) and conc. H2SO4 (3 drops) in 63 ml of water which was maintained at 40° C. After the addition was complete, the mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 1 hour and was then cooled to 0° C. and the solid was isolated by filtration, washing with water. Drying in vacuo gave 9.9 g of a brown solid which was taken-up in CH2Cl2 --THF, filtered to remove some inorganic material, and evaporated to yield 7.28 g (62%) of the title compound as a tan solid. This compound was used in the next reaction without purification.
