trans-3-Cyclopropylmethoxy-4-azidotetrahydrofuran → trans-3-Cyclopropylmethoxy-4-aminotetrahydrofuran

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of trans-3-cyclopropylmethoxy-4-azidotetrahydrofuran from step 3 above (1.2 g, mmol, 6.55 mmol) and 10% Pd on carbon (150 mg) in EtOAc (35 mL) was stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen at ambient pressure and ambient temperature for 6 h. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate solvents were removed in vacuo to give the title compound as an oil (1.1 g, TLC Rf=0.3, 95:5:0.25 CH2Cl2:MeOH:NH4OH).
