Reaction Steps

Sodium Borohydride (2.3 g, 58.55 mol) was suspended in tetrahydrofuran (150 mL) and 4 mL of water was added. (13.3 g, 33.46 mmol) of trans-2-[tert-Butoxycarbonylamino-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-methyl]-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester was added portionwise (0.8 g portions) and the temperature was kept to 18-30° C. After 1.5 h water (4 mL) and 0.4 g (10.15 mmol) of sodium borohydride were added again. The resulting mixture was quenched with ammonium chloride 2M (300 mL) and 100 mL of 1M K2CO3 and stirring was continued for 0.5 h. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (300 mL) and the combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to dryness under vacuum and purified with column chromatography on silica with heptane/AcOEt (9/1) to obtain 7.5 g (92.1% yield) of the title compound as a white solid. MS (m/e): 244.1 (M+H+)
