Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-methylnicotinic acid (35 mg) in ethanol (1 mL) was added 2N sodium hydroxide solution (0.14 mL) and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, to the reaction mixture was added 5N HCl (0.06 mL) and the mixture was evaporated in vacuo to give 6-methyloxynicotinic acid. The product was treated in the same manner as described in Example 3 to give (3R)-1-[bis-(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-3-[(6-methoxynicotinoyl)amino]pyrrolidine (28.0 mg; yield: 61%) as a powder.
