(1R,2R)-2-aminocycloheptan-1-ol

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

Procedure: A mixture of trans-2-aminocycloheptanol (0.97 g; 7.74 mmol), triphenylmethyl chloride (2.16 g; 7.74 mmol) and triethylamine (2.70 ml; 19.35 mmol) are combined in about 100 ml CH2Cl2 and heated to reflux overnight. After removing the heat, the reaction mixture is concentrated in vacuo and flash chromatographed using hexane:ethylacetate; 9:1 to obtain trans-2-triphenylmethylaminocycloheptanol which is used directly in the next step. heated to reflux overnight After removing the heat the reaction mixture is concentrated in vacuo and flash chromatographed

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

Procedure: In a sealed tube, cycloheptene oxide (5.44 g; 48.50 mmol)and ammonium hydroxide solution (10 ml) in 4 ml methanol is heated to 80° C. for 72 hrs. After removal of the heat, the mixture is concentrated in vacuo to obtain trans-2-aminocycloheptanol which is used directly in the next step. After removal of the heat the mixture is concentrated in vacuo
