Reaction Steps

To a solution of cis-[4-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino-methyl)-cyclohexylmethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (2.55 g, 7.45 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (40 mL) was added 4 M hydrogen chloride in EtOAc (4 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 5 hr and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (20 mL) and 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide (40 mL) and the resulting solution was cooled on an ice-bath. (Boc)2O (829 mg, 3.80 mmol) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 h. The aqueous layer was extracted with CHCl3 (three times). The combined organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated, and purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 9% MeOH in CHCl3) to give cis-(4-aminomethyl-cyclohexylmethyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (255 mg, 14%) as a pale yellow oil.
