Reaction Steps

Dissolve (2-benzyloxyethyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (15 g) in DCM (50 mL), add trifluoroacetic acid (20 mL) and stir at 0° C. for 3 h. Concentrate and dissolve the residue in a minimal amount of DCM. Purify by chromatography on silica gel eluting sequentially with hexane/EtOAc (4:1 and 1:1), EtOAc and 2M ammonia in methanol to give the title compound (8.3 g, 85%).
