Imidazole → HCID 67490755, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Imidazole (708 mg, 10.40 mmol), triphenylphosphine (2.727 g, 10.40 mmol), and iodine (2.111 g, 8.32 mmol) were sequentially added to a solution of (3R)-3-[1-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopropan-1-yl]-5-oxo-1-[(1S)-1-phenylethyl]pyrrolidin-4-ylcarboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.378 g, 4.16 mmol) in dichloromethane (50 mL) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Then, the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (200 mL) and washed with water (50 mL×2) and brine (50 mL). After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtration, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:9→1:4→1:2) to give 1.606 g (88%) of the title compound as a pale yellow gummy solid.
