Boron trifluoride etherate → 3-Formyl-3-phenyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester

참여 물질

반응 단계

Boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (1.82 mL, 14.40 mmol) was slowly added at room temperature to a solution of 6-phenyl-7-oxa-3-aza-bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (1.68 g, 7.20 mmol). A slightly exothermic reaction was observed and after 5 minutes the reaction mixture was quenched by slow addition of saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (50 mL). The resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc, and the combined organic extracts were washed with water, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 1.63 g (97% yield) of 3-formyl-3-phenyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester as a pale yellow oil which was used without further purification.
