Reaction Steps

2-(3-Acetylamino-[1,2,4]thiadiazol-5-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester hydrobromide (14.0 g, 37.8 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (80 mL). The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and a solution of K2CO3 (15.0 g, 108.7 mmol) in H2O (40 mL) was added. The solution was allowed to return to room temperature while stirring for 30 mins. The solution was concentrated down, redissolved in water (100 mL) and extracted with DCM (3×50 mL). The organic layers were combined and washed with brine (3×50 mL). The organic layer was partitioned from the aqueous layer, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under vacuo to afford 9.4 g (94%) of 2-(3-amino-[1,2,4]thiadiazol-5-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester as a yellow oil.
