Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-BOC-(3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)-glycine (1.79 g, 5.3 mmol) in 2% KOH/water (75 mL) at rt was added KMnO4 (1.0 g, 6.3 mmol). The reaction was heated to 90° C. for 2 h. An additional portion of KMnO4 (0.3 g, 1.9 mmol) was added and the reaction was heated at 90° C. for an additional 1.5 h. The reaction was then diluted with EtOAc (150 mL) and with vigorous mixing the pH was addjusted to ˜3 with 1N HCl. The EtOAc layer was separated and set aside. The aqueous layer was then extracted once more with EtOAc and twice with dichloromethane. The combined organics were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give N-BOC-(3-hydroxy-5,7-dimethyladamant-1-yl)-glycine (1.91 g). MS m/e (M+H)+=354.2
