Ammonium formate → tert-Butyl 6-azaspiro[2.5]octan-1-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the title compound of step 5 (2.2 g, 6.10 mmol) in ethanol (60 ml) was added ammonium formate (1.15 g, 18.3 mmol) followed by palladium on activated carbon (10% palladium content, 1.94 g, 1.83 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a white foam (1.4 g, 6.1 mmol, yield 100%).
