Reaction Steps

Toluene-4-sulfonic acid (2R)-8-amino-7-nitro-2,3-dihydro-benzo(1,4)-dioxin-2-ylmethyl ester (4.1 g, 11 mmole) was dissolved in 200 mL of methanol to which 0.50 g of 10% palladium on carbon had been added. 4 N isopropanol HCl (10 mL) was then added and the mixture treated with 60 psi of hydrogen on a Parr apparatus overnight. The mixture was filtered through celite and concentrated in vacuum to give 4.6 g of the (R)-enantiomer of the title compound as a pink solid (m.p. 178-180° C.).
