Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4,4-dimethyl-1,4-azasilinane 3 (2.3 g, 10.5 mmol) in EtOH (20 mL), 6N hydrochloricacid (1.75 mL, 10.5 mmol) is added and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The reaction mixture is co-evaporated with EtOH (2×10 mL) and recrystallized from EtOH-diethyl ether. To a slurry of Pd/C (50 mg) in EtOH (15 mL) an ethanolic solution of above prepared HCl salt is added drop wise and stirred at 25° C. under hydrogen atmosphere for 20 h. The reaction mixture is filtered through celite and washed with 2×20 mL of MeOH. The filtrate is then concentrated under reduced pressure to give viscous oil which was triturated with diethyl ether to obtain the product 4 as a white solid (950 mg) in 70% yield.
