Reaction Steps

To a solution of cis-3-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (500 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) was added triethylamine (344 μl) and isobutyl chloroformate (320 μl) under stirring at 0° C. After stirring at 0° C. for 1 hour, sodium borohydride (233 mg) was added, and methanol (5 ml) was added dropwise under stirring at 0° C. After stirring at 0° C. for 1 hour, 10% aqueous potassium hydrogen sulfate (10 ml) was added and neutralized with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate. and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water, brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by preparative thin layer chromatography on silica gel eluting with n-hexane:EtOAc=70:30 to 40:60 to give tert-butyl[cis-3-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexyl]carbamate (311 mg) as a white powder.
