Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(1,1-dimethylethyl) 1-(phenylmethyl) 1,3-pyrazolidinedicarboxylate (2.8 g, 9.14 mmol) in dichloromethane (DCM) (50 mL) was added TFA (42.2 mL, 548 mmol) and 10 mL of water. The reaction was stirred at 25° C. for 72 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give 1-{[(phenylmethyl)oxy]carbonyl}-3-pyrazolidinecarboxylic acid (2.2 g, 8.79 mmol,) which was used directly without further purification. LC-MS (ES) m/e 250.8 (M+H)+.
