Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To tert-butyl 2-[(3-cyano-5-fluorobenzyl)amino]-4-methylpentanoate (3.0 g, 9.4 mmol) in ethanol (30 mL) was added hydroxylamine (1.2 mL, 0.019 mol) and it was stirred at 0° C. for 16 hrs. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (250 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried and concentrated. The crude product was purified by chromatography using petroleum ether/ethyl acetate as eluent, affording the title compound as a white solid (2.3 g, 70%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz): δ 9.73 (s, 1H), 7.46 (s, 1H), 7.30 (d, J=9.6 Hz, 1H), 7.13 (d, J=9.6 Hz, 1H), 5.84 (s, 2H), 3.75 (d, 1H), 3.55 (d, 1H), 2.98 (s, 1H), 2.38 (brs, 1H), 1.76-1.69 (m, 1H), 1.40 (s, 9H), 1.37 (dd, 2H), 0.96 (d, 3H), 0.87 (d, 3H). LC/MS (Method B) 354.3 (M+H)+. HPLC (Method A) Rt: 2.96 min (Purity 98.3%).
