Reaction Steps

(S)-2-[[(1,1-Dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]amino]-3-[4-[3-(1,1-dimethylethoxy)-3-oxo-1-propenyl]phenyl]propanoic acid diphenylmethyl ester (1.6 g. 2.8 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (300 mg) in t-butanol (20 mL) was blanketed with hydrogen (1 atm). To prevent the solvent from freezing, a warm water bath (40° C.) was used to heat the reaction mixture. Upon the consumption of 2 equivalents of hydrogen, the mixture was filtered through celite. The celite pad was washed with ethanol (50 mL) and the filtrates combined and concentrated. The residue was purified by recrystallization from hexanes to give (S)-2-[[(1,1-dimethylethoxy) carbonyl]amino]-3-[4-[3-(1,1-dimethylethoxy)3-oxopropyl]phenyl]propanoic acid (1.0 g. 2.6 mmol) in 94% yield, mp. 88.5°-90° C., [α]D +21.2° (0.90% in ethanol).
