Triethylamine → Methyl 2-[2-[(1-methylethyl)thio]-5-nitrophenyl]-3-pyrrolidinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 20B (12.0 g, 28.2 mmol) and triethylamine (7.86 mL, 56.4 mmol) in dichloromethane at −10° C. was added titanium chloride (113 mL, 1 M in dichloromethane) dropwise under argon. The reaction was stirred at rt for 4 h and then quenched with saturated potassium carbonate. The mixture was filtered through celite and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (2×). The organic extracts were combined, washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to give 7.3 g of crude pyrrolidine 20C.
