Benzoyl chloride → HCID 58507543, compound

Temperature

-78 °C

To a stirred solution of 1-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-2-pyrrolidinone (11.9 g, 64.3 mmol) in dry THF (190 mL) at −78° C. was added a solution of LiHMDS (1.0M in toluene, 135 mL, 135 mmol). After stirring at −78° C. for 2 hours, benzoyl chloride (7.5 mL, 64.3 mmol) was added dropwise over 5 minutes while keeping the temperature below −50° C. The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 4 hours, and the reaction was then quenched with a saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution (200 mL). The mixture was diluted with EtOAc (300 mL) and the organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3 (200 mL×2) and saturated aqueous NaCl (200 mL). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated, and the crude product was purified by flash column chromatography (20-60% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford the title compound (14.5 g) as a yellow oil.
