Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl (2S)-3-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-2-(tritylamino)propylcarbamate (6.19 g, 11.3 mmol) was dissolved in 115 mL of anhydrous CH2Cl2 and 18.2 mL of glacial acetic acid. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. under an atmosphere of N2 and boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (1.51 mL, 11.9 mmol) was added dropwise over several minutes. After stirring for 5 hours, the reaction mixture was treated with 183 mL of cold, aqueous 10% NaOH solution. The reaction mixture was extracted into 200 mL of a 3:1 chloroform/2-propanol mixture and the layers were separated. The aqueous portion was extracted with two additional portions of the chloroform/2-propanol mixture. The organic phases were combined and dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Chromatography (SiO2, 5%-10% methanol/CHCl3) gave tert-butyl (2S)-2-amino-3-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}propylcarbamate (3.43 g) as a colorless syrup.
