Reaction Steps

Ethyl trans-4-aminocyclohexanecarboxylate (J. Med. Chem., 1971, 14, 600-614) (29.5 g, 143 mmol) was dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (290 ml) and water (290 ml), triethylamine (30.0 ml, 215 mmol) and 1-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxycarbonyloxy]pyrrolidine-2,5-dione (40.8 g, 157 mmol) were added under ice cooling and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 days. The reaction mixture was concentrated and then the residue was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with 10% aqueous citric acid solution, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and brine in that order. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 44.3 g (98%) of the title compound as colorless needle-like crystals.
