Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Hydrazine (66.6 ml of a 1M solution in THF, 66.6 mmol) is added to a suspension of [(S)-5-benzyloxy-1-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-ylmethyl)-3,3-dimethyl-pentyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (4 g, 8.32 mmol) in ethanol (100 ml), and the resulting solution is heated at 40° C. overnight. A fluffy white precipitate forms. The reaction is allowed to cool to room temperature and diethyl ether (100 ml) is added and the resulting white suspension cooled at 0° C. for 30 minutes. The white precipitate is removed by filtration and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue is then stirred with diethyl ether (100 ml) for 1 hour, filtered and the solvent is removed in vacuo to afford ((S)-1-Aminomethyl-5-benzyloxy-3,3-dimethyl-pentyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester as a pale yellow oil; [M+H]+ 351.
