Reaction Steps

A solution (0.1 M) of methyl 3-methyl-N-({[(1R,2R)-2-pent-4-en-1-ylcyclopropyl]oxy}carbonyl)-L-valinate in 2:1 mixture of MeOH/H2O was treated with LiOH.H2O (4 eq) and then heated at 60° C. for 4 h. The mixture was cooled and concentrated to half volume, then diluted with EtOAc and acidified with aqueous HCl (1 N). The organic layer was separated and washed with brine then dried. Removal of the volatiles afforded the title compound (98%) as an oil. MS (ES+) m/z 284 (M+H)+
