Participants

Reaction Steps

At r.t., to a 50 mL round bottomed flask containing crude 3-(1,1-dimethylethyl) 1-(phenylmethyl) 1,3-pyrazolidinedicarboxylate (88 mg) in dichloromethane (DCM) (0.5 mL), was added HCl in ether (2M) (3.59 mL, 7.18 mmol), then the reaction vessel was equipped with a glass stopper. The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 48 hr. The solid was filtered and washed with ether, providing the product as an off-white solid. (58.4 mg, 71% over two steps).
