Citric Acid → HCID 86618515, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (3S,4S)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino-4-methylpyrrolidine (1.80 g, 8.97 mmol), ethyl 3-methyl-2,4,5-trifluorobenzoate (2.18 g, 10.0 mmol), and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undeca-7-ene (DBU) (2.24 mL, 15 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (20 mL) was stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere at an external temperature of 60° C. for 70 hours. The temperature of the mixture was cooled to room temperature. The resultant mixture was poured to a 10% aqueous citric acid solution, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate (200 mL×3), washing by water (200 mL), saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate (150 mL), and saturated brine (150 mL), and dried over anhydrous sodium magnesium. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified through silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=6:1), to thereby yield the title compound as colorless crystals (2.51 g, 70.2%).
