Dimethylformamide → HCID 67436315, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3S,4R)-1-[bis-(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-3-hydroxy-4-[[4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoyl]amino]pyrrolidine (75.6 mg, an optical isomer of the compound obtained in Example 2) in acetonitrile (8 mL)/dimethylformamide (2 mL) was added successively methyl iodide (233 μL) and silver oxide (216.8 mg) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 23 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through Cerite, washed with acetonitrile and evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by a column chromatography on silica gel (solvent; hexane/ethyl acetate=4:1→2:1) to give (3S,4R)-1-[bis-(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-3-methoxy-4-[[4-(trifluoro-methoxy)benzoyl]amino]pyrrolidine (39.5 mg; yield: 51%) as an amorphous powder.
