4-Bromophenacyl bromide → HCID 58209525, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromo-1-(4-bromophenyl)ethanone (505 mg, 1.82 mmol) in MeCN (18 mL) was added (2S,4S)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-methylpyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (500 mg, 2.18 mmol) and triethyl amine (0.27 mL, 2.0 mmol). After stirring for 15 h, the solution was diluted with EtOAc and washed successively with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and brine. The organics were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by silica column chromatography (10% to 35% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford (2S,4S)-2-(2-(4-bromophenyl)-2-oxoethyl) 1-tert-butyl 4-methylpyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (748 mg, 97%).
