Reaction Steps

3 g (6.4 mmol) of benzyl 2(RS)-[[(RS)-(ethoxy)(phthalimidomethyl)phosphinyl]methyl]-4 -methylvalerate were dissolved in 39 ml (12.8 mmol) of a 0.33M solution of hydrazine hydrate in ethanol. The solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solvent was removed by evaporation and traces of hydrazine were removed by treatment with toluene followed by evaporation. The residue was taken up in 50 ml of dichloromethane and stirred at room temperature for 45 minutes in the presence of 5 ml of glacial acetic acid. The solid was removed by filtration and the filtrate was evaporated to give 2.56 g of benzyl 2(RS)-[[(RS) -(aminomethyl)(ethoxy)phosphinyl]methyl]-4-methylvalerate in the form of a gum.
