Methyl isocyanoacetate → HCID 86626958, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To stirred and cooled (0° C.) methyl isocyanoacetate (96% technical grade, 1.7 g, 17.21 mmol) was slowly added (R)-(+)-3-pyrrolidinol (1.5 g, 17.21 mmol) and MeOH (5 mL). The mixture was stirred for 3 h at RT and concentrated. Brine was added (30 mL) and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to obtained crude 1-((R)-3-hydroxypyrrolidin-1-yl)-2-isocyanoethanone VIB 01172 (1.3 g, 49% yield) as a yellow solid.
