Triethylamine → HCID 16307882, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methanesulfonyl chloride (2.3 mL, 30 mmol) was slowly added to a stirring solution of D/L-proline methyl ester hydrochloride (5.0 g, 30.2 mmol) and triethylamine (8.4 mL, 60 mmol) in anhydrous methylene chloride (75 mL). The reaction was stirred overnight at ambient temperature and then diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was successively washed with water, 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid twice, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solutions, dried (anhydrous sodium sulfate), and filtered. The solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the desired product as a tan liquid (4.45 g, 72%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 4.53-4.49 (dd, 1H, J=8.7, 3.6 Hz), 3.75 (s, 3H), 3.57-3.54 (m, 1H), 3.52-3.42 (m, 1H), 3.01 (s, 3H), 2.32-2.22 (m, 1H), 2.11-1.98 (m, 3H).
