Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.27 g (4.8 mmol) of ethyl 1-benzyl-3-(fluoromethyl)pyrrolidine-3-carboxylate in 20 mL of methanol was added 500 mg of Pd/C (10% on carbon) and 1.5 g (24 mmol) of HCOONH4. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 1 h, filtered through celite pad and evaporated to give a residue. The residue was then dissolved in ethyl acetate, the resulting solution was washed with saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution, brine, dried over Na2SO4, evaporated to give the final crude product (426 mg, 2.4 mmol, yield: 50%): MS (m/e): 176 (M+H)+.
