Reaction Steps

Hydrogen chloride gas was bubbled into a solution of the fused heterocyclic product from the previous step, e.g. tert-butyl (2S,4EZ)-2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-4-(methoxyimino)-1-pyrrolidinecarboxylate (740 mg, 2.2 mmol) in dry DCM (20 ml) for 30 min. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give the desired product, e.g. (3EZ,5S)-5-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-3-pyrrolidinone O-methyloxime (0.58 g, 99%), as a brown amorphous powder which was used without further purification.
