Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1R,2R) (2-benzyloxycyclohexyl) carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (7 g, 23 mmoles) in a 9:1 mixture of ethyl acetate and methanol (80 mL), 10% Pd—C (1.13 g) was added and hydrogenated at 35 psi for 4 h. The catalyst was removed by filtration through a celite pad. The filtrate was concentrated to give the title compound as an oil (4.7 g, 95%). MS: (M+1): 215.95
