3-(3-amino-3-methylbutyl)sulfonylpropane-1,2-diol

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A solution of benzyl 4-(2,3-dihydroxypropylsulfonyl)-2-methylbutan-2-ylcarbamate (2.34 g, 10.4 mmol) in methanol (50 ml) was purged with nitrogen and palladium on carbon (10%, 230 mg) was added. The suspension was put under a blanket of hydrogen (1.3 atmospheres) and stirred for 2 hours. The suspension was filtered through Celite® and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound which was used without further purification. LRMS (ESI/APCI) m/z 226 [M+H]+. was added The suspension was filtered through Celite® concentrated in vacuo
