HCID 67268087, compound → methyl (1R,2R)-1-amino-2-phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (1R,2R)-methyl 1-amino-2-(4-bromophenyl)cyclopropanecarboxylate hydrochloride (120 mg) and palladium on carbon (10%) (47.3 mg) in methanol (20 mL) was stirred at 5 bar of hydrogen for 48 h. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by preparative HPLC on a Phenomenex Gemini column using a 95-5% gradient of aqueous 0.1% ammonia in acetonitrile as eluent. The fractions containing the desired compound were evaporated to dryness to afford (1R,2R)-methyl 1-amino-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate (18 mg) as a colourless oil.
