Reaction Steps

Methyl (1S,2S,4S)-4-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-2-methoxycyclohexanecarboxylate (racemic) (1.02 g, 3.55 mmol) were dissolved in ether (32 mL) and cooled to 0° C. Lithium tetrahydroaluminate (162 mg, 4.26 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred for 4 h. The reaction was quenched with 5 mL water at 0° C., then diluted with 5 mL 15% NaOH and 15 mL water after stirring for 30 min. The reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite and washed with ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude was purified with flash chromatography (eluting with a gradient of 0-80% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to give the desired product as white foam. LCMS calculated for C8H18NO2 (M+H-Boc)+: m/z=160.1. Found: 160.2. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 4.46 (1H, brs), 3.71-3.40 (3H, m), 3.37 (3H, s), 3.12 (2H, m), 2.48 (1H, m), 1.94 (1H, m), 1.71-1.50 (3H, m), 1.41 (9H, s), 1.05 (2H, m) ppm.
