1,1-dimethylethyl {(1R)-1-[3-hydroxy-1-(phenylmethyl)azetidin-3-yl]ethyl}carbamate → HCID 86621270, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,1-dimethylethyl {(1R)-1-[3-hydroxy-1-(phenylmethyl)azetidin-3-yl]ethyl}carbamate (1.07 g, 3.5 mmol) in methanol was added wet 10% palladium on carbon (50% by mass, 250 mg). The resulting suspension was subjected to 1 atmosphere of hydrogen for 7 h, and an additional 250 mg of catalyst was added over the course of the reaction. The catalyst was then removed by filtration through celite. The filtrate was then concentrated in vacuo to provide 1,1-dimethylethyl [(1R)-1-(3-hydroxyazetidin-3-yl)ethyl]carbamate as a colorless syrup (800 mg, quantitative yield). MS (EI) for C10H20N2O3: 161 (M-tert-butyl+H).
