N-BOC-octahydroisoindole-1-carboxylic acid → octahydro-1H-isoindole-1-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-BOC-octahydroisoindole-1-carboxylic acid (18.6 mmol) was dissolved in 4 M HCl in dioxane (46.5 mL) at rt. After stirring for 1 hr, the reaction was determined to be complete by TLC. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, triturated with Et2O (2×70 mL) and then dried in vacuo to afford octahydroisoindole-1-carboxylic acid (4.13 g) as a white solid.
