Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (2S)-1-(isoleucyl)pyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile hydrochloride (300 mg, 1.22 mmol; prepared according to Jenkins et al., WO95/15309), methyl chloroformate (125 mg, 1.3 mmol) and triethylamine (150 mg, 1.50 mmol) in dichloromethane (40 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. After this time the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was taken up in ethyl acetate (70 ml). This solution was washed with 0.3M KHSO4, sat. NaHCO3, water and brine, dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (EtOAc:Pet. Ether 60-80° C.; 4:6) yielding a colourless oil identified as the title compound (310 mg, 1.16 mmol, 95%).
