Hydrochloric Acid → (2RS, 3S)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-5-methylhexyl methyl ether hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 94 mg of the ether compound obtained in 10 ml of methanol was added 0.16 ml of a 2N-hydrochloric acid, and the mixture was hydrogenated over 10 mg of a 10% palladium charcoal under hydrogen atmosphere. After filtration of the catalyst, the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain 54 mg of (2RS, 3S)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-5-methylhexyl methyl ether hydrochloride as a colorless viscous oil.
