Hydrogen chloride-ethyl acetate → tert-butyl (1S,2R)-1-amino-7-methylindane-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 140 mg of tert-butyl (1S,2R)-1-{[(S)-tert-butylsulfinyl]amino}-7-methylindane-2-carboxylate in 9.1 ml of ethyl acetate was added 0.88 ml of a 4 M hydrogen chloride/ethyl acetate solution, followed by stirring at room temperature for 2 hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and to the obtained residue were added a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and ethyl acetate to carry out a layer separation operation. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain 88 mg of tert-butyl (1S,2R)-1-amino-7-methylindane-2-carboxylate.
