Methyl chloroformate → HCID 66936675, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium bicarbonate (2.073 g, 24.68 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of water (20.00 mL) and DCM (20 mL), and phenylmethyl (3S)-3-amino-1-pyrrolidinecarboxylate (2.88 g, 11.22 mmol) was added followed by methylchloroformate (0.953 mL, 12.34 mmol). This mixture was stirred for 6 h. The biphasic mixture was then separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted once with DCM. The combined organics were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residual material was then purified via silica gel chromatography (0-100% EtoAc in hexane) yielding phenylmethyl (3S)-3-{[(methyloxy)carbonyl]amino}-1-pyrrolidinecarboxylate (2 g, 64%) as a clear oil. LCMS: (M+H)+: 278.9.
