Reaction Steps

N-(t-Butyloxy)-2(R)-[[4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl](3-picolyl)amino]-3(R)-(3-picolyloxy)butanamide (1.3 g, 2.4 mmol) is dissolved in methylene chloride (50 mL) containing ethanol (0.14 mL, 2.4 mmol) in a round bottom flask, and the reaction is cooled to -10° C. Hydrochloric acid gas (from a lecture bottle) is bubbled through for 20 minutes. The reaction is sealed, allowed to slowly warm to room temperature, and stirred for two days. The solvent is reduced to 1/3 the volume by evaporation and the residue is triturated with ether. The mixture is filtered, the filter cake is removed and dried in vacuo to provide N-hydroxy-2(R)-[[4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl](3-picolyl)amino]-3(R)-(3-picolyloxy)-butanamide dihydrochloride as a white solid; [α]D25 =+35.26° (c=5.58, DMSO).
