Reaction Steps

(R)-3-(2-(acetoxymethyl)-4-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-3-methylphenyl)-1-methoxy-1-oxopropan-2-yl benzoate (19.5 g, 40.2 mmol) in dichloromethane (100.00 ml, 1554 mmol) was added trifluoroacetic acid (30.00 ml, 389 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at RT. After 4 h, LC-MS suggested complete removal of protecting group. The solvent was removed and the crude product was dissolved in dichloromethane (300 mL) and washed with aqueous NaHCO3. The solvent was removed to give (R)-3-(2-(acetoxymethyl)-4-amino-3-methylphenyl)-1-methoxy-1-oxopropan-2-yl benzoate (15.0 g, 38.9 mmol, 97% yield). MS (ESI) 408 (M+H); Rf=1.69.
