benzyl 3-aminosulfonyl-2(R)-methylpropionate → 3-aminosulfonyl-2(R)-methylpropionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100 mL Fisher/Porter vessel was charged with 1.1 g of crude benzyl 3-aminosulfonyl-2(R)-methylpropionate in 35 mL MeOH and a catalytic amount of 10% Pd—C. The mixture was hydrogenated at 50 psi for 24 hours, filtered through Celite and concentrated in vacuo to yield 700 mg of 3-aminosulfonyl-2(R)-methylpropionic acid as a clear oil. The crude acid was used without further purification.
