Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2S,4S)-4-acetylthio-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)-2-(2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)methylpyrrolidine (1.22 g) in methanol (20 ml) was added 28% sodium methoxide in methanol solution (0.61 ml) on ice-bath under atmospheric pressure of nitrogen and the mixture was stirred at the same condition for 30 minutes. To a reaction mixture was added acetic acid (0.17 ml) and evaporated in vacuo. The resulting residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (50 ml) and the solution was washed twice with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The resulting residue was chromatographed on silica gel (150 g) eluting with a mixture of chloroform and methanol (9:1 V/V). The fractions containing the desired compound were collected and evaporated in vacuo to give (2S,4S)-4-mercapto-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)-2-(2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)methylpyrrolidine (0.76 g).
