Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

t-Butyl 2(R)-[[4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl](3-picolyl)amino]-3-methylbutanoate (5.3 g, 12.2 mmol) is dissolved in methylene chloride (150 mL) and cooled to -10° C. Hydrochloric acid gas is bubbled into the solution for 10 minutes. The reaction mixture is then sealed, warmed to room temperature and stirred for 4 hours. The solvent is then evaporated to provide 2(R)-[[4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl](3-picolyl)amino]-3-methyl-butanoic acid hydrochloride.
