Lithium Hydroxide → Benzyl 2-aminoethyl(methyl)carbamate

To a solution of compound B (˜311 mmol) in MeOH (1.2 L) was added a solution of LiOH (14.9 g, 622 mmol) in water (120 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 h. Solvents were evaporated to 75% of the initial volume followed by dilution with water (400 mL). The solution was extracted with EtOAc (2×300 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (200 mL), dried over MgSO4 and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ether (300 mL) and treated with 2 N HCl/ether (200 mL). Formed precipitate was filtrated, washed with ether and dried in vacuo to provide the hydrochloric salt of compound C (67.8 g, 89%) as a white solid. LC-MS [M+H] 209.0 (C11H16N2O2+H, calc: 209.3). Compound C was used directly in the next reaction without purification as a DMF solution.
