Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 3-azido-4-C-carbomethoxy-2,3,4,6-tetradeoxy-α-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (1.19 g, 5.19 mmol) and 5% palladium-on-charcoal (500 mg) in methanol (35 ml) is hydrogenated at a pressure of 1 atmosphere for 5 hours at room temperature. The catalyst is then removed by filtration through Celite and the filtrate evaporated and dried in vacuo to give TLC-chromatographically-homogeneous, ninhydrin positive amino ester; yield 1.01 g (96%).
