(1S,4aS,6S,7R,7aR)-6,7-epoxy-7-methyl-1-(methylcarbamoyloxy)-1,4a,5,6,7,7a-hexahydrocyclopenta [c]-pyrane-4-carboxylic acid benzyl ester → (1S,4aS,6S,7R,7aR)-6,7-epoxy-1,4a,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-7-methyl-1-(methylcarbamoyloxy) cyclopenta [c]-pyrane-4-carboxylic acid

Reaction Steps

35 mg of 5% palladium-carbon catalyst were added to an ethyl acetate solution containing 350 mg of (1S,4aS,6S,7R,7aR)-6,7-epoxy-7-methyl-1-(methylcarbamoyloxy)-1,4a,5,6,7,7a-hexahydrocyclopenta [c]-pyrane-4-carboxylic acid benzyl ester followed by stirring for 2 hours at room temperature under hydrogen gas atmosphere at 1 atm. After filtering out the insoluble matter, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a colorless powder in the form of (1S,4aS,6S,7R,7aR)-6,7-epoxy-1,4a,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-7-methyl-1-(methylcarbamoyloxy) cyclopenta [c]-pyrane-4-carboxylic acid (298 mg, yield: 99%). The physicochemical properties of this compound are described in Table 1, Compound No. 1.
