Participants

Reaction Steps

(1R,2S)-1-amino-2-indanol (2.0 g, 13.4 mmol) is suspended in 100 mL DCM and at RT it is combined with acetic anhydride (1.27 mL, 13.4 mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred for 1 h at RT, once the reaction is complete the solvent is eliminated using the rotary evaporator and the crude product B-1b (HPLC-MS: tRet.=0.81 min; MS (M+H)+=192) is used in the subsequent reactions without further purification.
