Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromo-2-fluoro-1-nitro-benzene (9 g, 40 mmol), L-proline (4.6 g, 40 mmol), and potassium carbonate (7 g, 50 mmol) in ethanol (50 ml) and water (40 ml) was heated to reflux for 5 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was diluted with water and was adjusted to pH 6 with 1N aqueous HCl solution. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×100 mL), the combined organic extracts were washed with water, then brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to afford N-(5-bromo-2-nitro-phenyl)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (6 g, 48%) which was used in the next step without further purification.
