(1S,3R)-benzyl 3-acetamido-2,2-dimethylcyclobutanecarboxylate → (1S,3R)-3-acetamido-2,2-dimethylcyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of (1S,3R)-benzyl 3-acetamido-2,2-dimethylcyclobutanecarboxylate (0.650 g, 2.36 mmol) in EtOAc (10 ml) at room temperature, 10% Pd/C (catalytic amount) were added and the reaction mixture was stirred under H2 gas atmosphere at room temperature for about 1 hour. After completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was filtered through celite bed. The obtained filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford title compound as an off white solid. Wt: 0.240 g; Yield: 54.9%; 1H NMR (300 MHZ, CD3OD): δ 8.09 (d, J=3.0 Hz, 1H), 4.08-3.96 (m, 1H), 2.62-2.58 (m, 1H), 2.20-2.15 (m, 2H), 1.93 (s, 3H), 1.26 (s, 3H), 0.92 (s, 3H); Mass: [M+1]+ 186 (70%), [M+Na]+ 208 (93%). IR (KBr, cm−1): 3349, 2962, 1697, 1624, 1557, 1428, 1377, 1257, 1075, 988, 920, 736; M.R: 194.7° C.-216.2° C.
