Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-1-cyclopropyl-2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenoxy)ethanol (20.90 g, 83 mmol) in EtOH (546 ml) was added 5% Pd/C, dry basis, Degussa type 50% water content (3.0 g, 0.705 mmol). The suspension was hydrogenated (1 atm. H2, balloon) at 20° C. for 2.5 h; whereupon, LC/MS analysis revealed the reaction to be complete. After filtration of the reaction mixture through Celite pad and subsequent washing of the cake with EtOH, the filtrate was concentrated under vacuum using a rotary evaporator to yield (R)-2-(4-amino-2-methoxyphenoxy)-1-cyclopropylethanol as a brown solid. M.P. 71° C. (18.34 g, 100%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ ppm 0.18-0.27 (m, 1H), 0.38-0.43 (m, 1H), 0.45-0.61 (m, 2H), 0.82-0.92 (m, 1H), 3.21 (ddd, J=8.8, 8.8, 2.6 Hz, 1H), 3.80 (s, 3H), 3.86 (dd, J=10.1, 8.8 Hz, 1H), 4.09 (dd, J=10.1, 2.6 Hz, 1H), 6.21 (dd, J=8.3, 2.7 Hz, 1H). 6.29 (d, J=2.7 Hz, 1H), 6.78 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 151.2, 142.1, 140.8, 118.7, 106.9, 100.5, 76.5, 74.4, 55.7, 12.9, 2.5, 1.6. HPLC: 6.28 min retention time, 98.5% API; ZORBAX® column SB C18 4.6×75 mm; flow rate 2.5 ml/min; Gradient solvent system: from 100% A:0% B to 0% A:100% B for 8 min (Solvent A: 10% MeOH-90% H2O=0.2% H3PO4; Solvent B: 90% MeOH-10% H2O+0.2% H3PO4) Detection at 220 nm. LC/MS: m/e 224.5 (M+H); 4 min gradient.
