Ammonium formate → Tert-butyl 2,2-dimethyl-1-oxa-4,9-diazaspiro[5.5]undecane-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl 9-benzyl-2,2-dimethyl-1-oxa-4,9-diazaspiro[5.5]undecane-4-carboxylate (Example 271, step b) (0.8 g) dissolved in ethanol (50 mL) and 10% palladium on carbon (0.5 g) was treated with ammonium formate (0.8 g) and the reaction mixture heated at reflux for 30 minutes. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered through diatomacious earth. The solvent was evaporated and the residue azeotroped with acetonitrile (×2) to afford the subtitled compound. Yield 0.55 g.
