Participants

Reaction Steps

Trans-(4-Amino-cyclohexyl)-acetic acid ethyl ester hydrochloride (1.0 g, 4.51 mmol) (Example A, step 2) was dissolved in dichloromethane and triethylamine (1.89 ml, 13.5 mmol) was added. Acetyl chloride (0.35 ml, 4.96 mmol) was added drop wise and the reaction mixture stirred for 5 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated NaHCO3-solution and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic extracts were washed with brine, dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The crude product (804 mg, 78%) [MS: m/e=228.3/229.3 (M+H+)] was obtained as a white solid and used without any further purification for the next step.
