Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 4-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)phenylacetate (0.13 g, 0.59 mmol) obtained in Step 1 was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (1.2 mL), 1 M aqueous lithium hydroxide solution (1.2 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred for 5 hrs. The mixture was neutralized with 1 N aqueous hydrogen chloride solution (1.2 mL), and the solvent was evaporated to give a crude product of the title compound, which was used for the synthesis of A-54.
