反応手順

100 g (0.295 mol) ethyl (3R, 4R, 5S)-4-acetamido-5-azido-3-(1-ethylpropoxy)-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate were dissolved in 800 ml ethanol and placed in a 21 steel autoclave together with 34 g Raney Nickel (Degussa) in 200 ml ethanol. The autoclave was closed rinsed twice with nitrogen and then set under 2 bar hydrogen pressure. Hydrogenation took place at a temperature of 20-25° C. under mechanical stirring a 1000 rpm until, after all the starting material had reacted, also the content of the “2-azido-5-amino intermediate” was ≦0.01% area (GC measurement) which was about 5-8 h. However, it was found that due to this “overhydrogenation” the “cyclohexene double bond” became hydrogenated, too.
