Methanol → HCID 60207251, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

200 mg of 10% Pd—C pre-mixed with 10 mL of methanol was added to a solution of (1R,2R)-1-methyl-2-phenylcarbonyloxypropyl (2S)-2-[(tert-butoxy)carbonylamino]-3-[3,4-bis(phenylmethoxy)phenyl]propanoate (2.6 g, 3.9 mmol) in 40 mL of tetrahydrofuran under a nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting mixture was stirred under hydrogen at room temperature for 2 hrs. After filtration and washing with methanol, the filtrate was concentrated and chromatography (silica gel, 30% ethyl acetate in hexane) of the residue afforded 1.8 g (95%) of (1R,2R)-1-Methyl-2-phenylcarbonyloxypropyl (2S)-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-[(tert-butoxy)carbonylamino]propanoate. MS (ESI) m/z 474.31 (M+H)+ and 472.18 (M−H)−.
