Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (3R,4R)-4-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pyrrolidin-3-ol (Lexicon Pharma, 1.56 g, 10.0 mmol) and 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-butyne (GFS Chemical, Inc., 1.36 g, 13.2 mmol), THF (15 mL) and Et3N (13.3 mmol) was treated with CuI (77 mg, 0.78 mmol). An exothermic reaction ensued with concomitant formation of a precipitate. After stirring at RT for 15 h, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and partitioned between EtOAc and saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution. The aqueous phase was extracted twice with EtOAc and the combined EtOAc phases were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give a light brown solid (1.0 g, 45%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 4.20 (br s, 1H), 3.13-3.04 (m, 1H), 2.95 (dd, 1H, J=10.1, 6.6 Hz), 2.77 (dd, 1H, J=10.1, 2.6 Hz), 2.64 (m, 3H), 2.61 (m, 2H), 2.55-2.46 (m, 1H), 2.26 (s, 1H), 1.85-1.74 (m, 4H), 1.38 (s, 3H), 1.36 (s, 3H); MS (ESI+): m/z 223.29 (M+H)+.
