Ethyl 3-azido-4-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylate → Ethyl 3-amino-4-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension mixture of Racemate-ethyl 3-azido-4-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylate (8.0 g, 37.5 mmol) and 5% palladium on carbon (50% wet, 2.0 g) in ethyl acetate (250 mL) was stirred under hydrogen atmosphere (˜1 atm) at room temperature overnight. After the reaction mixture was filtered, the filtrate was concentrated to thereby give the title compound (5.8 g, 83%) as a yellow solid. MS (ES+) C9H17NO3 requires: 187, found: 188 [M+H]+.
