Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

(S)-Benzyl-3-(tert-butyl dimethylsilyloxy)glutaramate (100 g) was dissolved in ethyl acetate and placed in pressure flask. To this Palladium on charcoal (5%, 1 g) was added and stirred under hydrogen atmosphere (˜2.8 Kg). Palladium was removed by filtration. The filtrate was mixed with water and adjusted pH to ˜9.0 by using Aq ammonia solution. The reaction mass was stirred and layers were separated. The aqueous phase was washed with dichloromethane and dichloromethane was added to aqueous phase. The reaction mass was cooled to 5° C. and pH was adjusted to 4.0 with Aq phosphoric acid. The reaction mass was stirred and layers were separated. The organic phase was washed with water and dried over sodium sulphate. The organic layer was evaporated under vacuum to yield residue. Residue was dissolved in dichloromethane and to this solution hexane was added, stirred, filtered and dried to yield (S)-3-(tert-butyl dimethylsilyloxy)glutaric acid monoamide.
