(S)-2-amino-3-methyl-4-phenyl-but-3-en-1-ol → (S)-2-amino-3-methyl-4-phenyl-butan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (S)-2-amino-3-methyl-4-phenyl-but-3-en-1-ol (115 mg) in EtOH (5 ml) was hydrogenated at normal pressure (balloon) overnight in the presence of 10% Pd/C (10 mg). The reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel; gradient: CH2Cl2->CH2Cl2/MeOH 9:1) to give (S)-2-amino-3-methyl-4-phenyl-butan-1-ol (57 mg, 49%) as light yellow oil. MS (ISP): 180.3 ([M+H]+))
