Procedure

Ammonium acetate (240 g, 3110 mmol) was added to a solution of (R)-ethyl 2-methyl-5-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate (106.0 g, 622.8 mmol) in MeOH (1.2 L). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature under nitrogen for 20 hours. The reaction was complete as determined by TLC and HPLC. The reaction mixture was concentrated to remove MeOH. The resulting residue was dissolved in DCM, washed twice with H2O, once with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated to give (R)-ethyl 2-amino-5-methylcyclopent-1-enecarboxylate (102 g, 97% yield) as an oil. LC/MS (APCI+) m/z 170 [M+H]+.
