Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.7 g. (0.0084 mole) of trans-N-carbobenzyloxy-4-[[(methylamino)carbonyl]oxy]-L-proline in 100 ml. of methanol-water (2:1) is treated with 1 g. of 5% palladium-carbon and 45 lb. of hydrogen and shaken on a Parr hydrogenator for 6 hours. The catalyst is filtered off under nitrogen, washed with methanol and the combined filtrates are evaporated, finally at 0.1-0.2 mm, to give 1.5 g. (96%) of a residue which gradually crystallizes to give trans-4-[[(methylamino)carbonyl]oxy]-L-proline as a greyish solid; m.p. 213°-215° (dec.), preceded by gradual darkening and sintering. [α]D26 -12° (c, 0.25% in 1:3 ethanol-methanol).
