D. Misiti et al., Selective catalytic hydrogenation of gamma-amino alpha,beta-unsaturated esters in the presence of hydrogenable protecting groups, SYNTHESIS-S, (5), 1999, pp. 873-877
The chemoselective catalytic hydrogenation of substituted gamma-amino alpha
, beta-unsaturated esters bearing benzyl ether, benzyl ester functionalitie
s and N-Cbz protecting groups by 3% Pd/C in EtOAc was investigated. The res
ults revealed a good selectivity for substrates with benzyl ethers and benz
yl esters in the side chain and for alpha,beta-unsaturated benzyl esters. M
oderate selectivity was observed for substrates with N-Cbz protecting group
.
