Benzyl 3-hydroxypyrrolidine-1-carboxylate → 1-N-Cbz-3-pyrrolidinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzyl 3-hydroxypyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (0.30 g, 1.34 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (20 mL) and pyridinium chlorochromate was added (0.44 g, 2.0 mmol). The resulting slurry was stirred at room temperature for 72 h. Benzyl 3-oxopyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (0.080 g, 27%) was isolated as a colorless oil by prep. HPLC YMC ODSA 30×100 mm, 20-100% MeOH/H2O (0.1% TFA) gradient over 10 mins at 20 mL/min flow rate at a retention time of 4.25 min. LCMS: 1.20 min [M+1] not observed (2 min gradient, MeOH/H2O 0.1% TFA).
