Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Acetonitrile (4.7 L, 8.6 v/w) was added to tert-butyl [6-aminomethyl-3-ethylbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-3-en-6-yl]acetate (627.0 g, net: 543.6 g, 2.05 mol, 85:15 diastereomeric mixture), and the mixture was stirred at 40° C. To the reaction solution, D-mandelic acid (116.3 g, 0.76 mmol, 0.37 eq.) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 1 hour and then allowed to cool slowly to 3° C. After stirring at 3° C. for 1 hour, the resulting crystal was collected by filtration. Then, the crystal was dried under reduced pressure under the condition of 40° C. to obtain tert-butyl [(1R,5S,6S)-6-aminomethyl-3-ethylbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-3-en-6-yl]acetate D-mandelate as a white powder (251.2 g, yield: 29.4%, 97.6% ee, 99.6% de).
