4-Nitrocatechol → (2S)-(-)-N-(7-Amino-2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-2-ylmethyl)-sulfamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

(2S)-(−)-N-(2,3-Dihydro-7-nitro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-2-ylmethyl)-sulfamide (1.2 g, 4.15 mmol), was prepared from 4-nitrocatechol according to the process outlined in Example 4. The (2S)-(−)-N-(2,3-Dihydro-7-nitro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-2-ylmethyl)-sulfamide, was then combined with 10% Pd/C in methanol (120 mL) and shaken under hydrogen atmosphere (39 psi) at room temperature for 3 h. The solids were filtered and washed with 10% M in DCM and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to yield crude product. The crude product was dissolved in 0.2 N HCl (25 mL), frozen and lyophilized to yield the title compound as a white flaky solid, as the corresponding hydrochloride salt.
