Potassium Carbonate → trans-3-Amino-1-isobutyl-5-phenylpyrrolidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of trans-2,2,2-trifluoro-N-(1-isobutyl-2-oxo-5-phenylpyrrolidin-3-yl)acetamide (63.2 mg, 0.192 mmol) in methanol (3 mL) and water (1 mL) was added potassium carbonate (79.8 mg, 0.578 mmol). After 27 hours, the reaction solution was concentrated and worked up with methylene chloride and water. The organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to produce the title compound (44.7 mg). MS 233 (M+1).
