反応手順

To a solution of pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid 4-oxo-cyclohexylmethyl ester (2 mmol) in ethanol (10 mL) was added hydroxylamine (10 mmol) and the mixture was refluxed for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with water. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid 4-hydroxyimino-cyclohexylmethyl ester. Pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid 4-hydroxyimino-cyclohexylmethyl ester was dissolved in a 2N ammonia methanol solution (10 mL) and then Raney nickel was added. After 12 hours stirring under hydrogen atmosphere, the reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid 4-amino-cyclohexylmethyl ester. To a solution of pyridine-2-yl-methanol (2 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added CDI (2 mmol). After 2 h stirring at room temperature, pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid 4-amino-cyclohexylmethyl ester was added and the resulting mixture was stirred for additional 2 hours at 60° C. The reaction mixture was diluted with water, followed by few times of extraction with methylene chloride. The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, ethyl acetate), thereby completing the preparation of a target compound (310 mg, 43% yield).
