Reaction Steps

(1R,4S)-4-[(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)amino]-1-[(3R)-tetrahydrofuran-3-yl]cyclopent-2-ene-1-carboxylic acid (0.79 g, 2.6 mol) was dissolved in ethanol (20.0 mL), degassed-purged with N2, followed by the addition of platinum dioxide (0.150 g, 0.528 mol). The reaction mixture was placed on a Parr apparatus and hydrogenated at 55 psi H2 for 18 h. The mixture was filtered through celite pad, washed with MeOH, concentrated to provide the desired product (730 mg, 91.8%). MS calculated for C15H26NO5 (M+H) 300.2; found 200.2 (M+H-Boc).
