Reaction Steps

2-Aminonorbornane-2-carboxylic acid was converted into 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)norbornane as a diastereomeric mixture in a manner analogous to Method B1a. A solution of the amino alcohol (0.31 g, 2.16 mmol) and isobutyl bromide (0.23 ml, 2.16 ml) in DMF (3 mL) was heated at 90° C. for 92 h, then cooled to room temp. and partitioned between EtOAc (100 mL) and a saturated NaHCO3 solution (100 mL). The organic layer was washed with a saturated NaCl solution (50 mL), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 2-(isobutylamino)-2-(hydroxymethyl)norbornane as a diastereomeric mixture (0.24 g, 55%): GC-MS m/z 197 (M+).
