Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

71.6 g (0.5 mol) of 1-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid was added to 250 ml of an aqueous solution of 20 g (0.5 mol) of sodium hydroxide, and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 2 hours. The mixed solution was cooled with ice-water, and 71.8 g (0.2 mol) of 2-furancarbonyl chloride and 100 ml of an aqueous solution of 24 g (0.6 mol) of sodium hydroxide were simultaneously added thereto over approximately 1 hour. The temperature of the reaction solution was slowly returned to room temperature and the solution was stirred overnight. After 80 ml of ethyl acetate was added to the reaction solution and the solution was stirred for 1 hour, the insolubles were removed by filtration. The aqueous layer was separately collected and 49 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added thereto under ice-cooling. The precipitated crystal was collected by filtration and dried under reduced pressure to obtain 112.6 g (95%) of the title compound.
