Reaction Steps

Pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylic acid 1-tert-butyl ester (2.2 g, 10 mmol) was dissolved in 150 mL dry diethyl ether under Ar, cooled in an ice water bath, added dry pyridine (2.8 mL, 34 mmol) followed by the dropwise addition of oxalyl chloride (1.5 mL, 17 mmol). A precipitate forms immediately. The reaction was stirred vigorously at 0° C. for 1 hours, then at ambient temperature for two hours. Added 100 mL diethyl ether, filtered off solids washing with diethyl ether. Concentrated the filtrates to an off-white oil. Redissolved oil in 100 mL dry DCM under Ar, cooled to 0° C., added 3 mL pyridine followed by 2-chloro-4-bromoaniline (1.8 g, 8.5 mmol). The reaction was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stirred over the weekend. Concentrated reaction, redissolved in 250 mL EtOAc, washed with 10% citric acid (3×100 mL), water, (2×100 mL), brine (100 mL), dried with MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. Purified on a silica gel column eluted with an automated system with gradient of 0-60% EtOAc in hexanes. Combined and concentrated pure fractions to yield title compound as a yellow solid. (2.7 g, 79%) APCI (AP−): 401.0, 403.0, 405.0 (M−H)−.
