Procedure
14.5 g of (S)-2-(ethylsulfonylamino)-3-methyl-butyric acid N-[2-(4-benzyloxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-ethyl]-amide (Ex. P-1. 1) are dissolved in 420 ml of tetrahydrofuran and shaken together with 3 g of palladium-on-carbon (5%) in a duck-shaped hydrogenation vessel for 5 hours in a hydrogen atmosphere at normal pressure. The catalyst is then removed by filtration. The filtrate is concentrated. The residue is purified by flash-chromatography on silica gel using ethyl acetate/n-hexane 3:1, yielding (S)-2-(ethylsulfonylamino)-3-methyl-butyric acid N-[2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]-amide in the form of a colourless oil.
