Water → Benzophenone O-[(R)-3-pyrrolidinyl]oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of KOH powder (4.86 g) in DMSO (250 ml) under vigorous stirring, benzophenone oxime (7.86 g) was added. After stirring at RT for 30 min, a solution of N-tert-butoxy-carbonyl-3-(S)-pyrrolidinyl methanesulfonate (10.0 g) in DMSO (70 ml) was added. After 18 h at RT the reaction was poured into iced water (900 ml) and extracted with Et2O. The combined organic layers were washed with water, brine, dried and the solvent was evaporated. Benzophenone O-[(R)-3-pyrrolidinyl]oxime was obtained (13.0 g, 96%) as a white solid and used without any further purification in the next step.
