Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-tert-butyl 2-methyl (2S,4R)-4-{[(4-vinyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)carbonyl]oxy}pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (13.9 g, 33.4 mmol) in EtOAc (700 mL) was cooled in an ice bath then saturated with hydrogen chloride gas. The reaction flask was sealed and allowed to warm to RT. After 3.5 h the solvent was removed by evaporation to give the title compound as a gray solid, 11.2 g, 95% yield). 1H NMR (500 MHz, ppm, CD3OD) δ 7.47-7.45 (m, 1H), 7.32-7.31 (m, 1H), 7.26-7.21 (m, 1H), 6.79-6.73 (m, 1H), 5.79-5.73 (m, 1H), 5.46 (s, 1H), 5.41-5.38 (m, 1H), 4.80-4.72 (m, 4H), 3.91 (s, 3H), 3.74-3.63 (m, 2H), 2.77-2.71 (m, 1H), 2.51-2.46 (m, 1H). LRMS (ESI) m/z 317 [(M+H)+; calcd for C17H21N2O4: 317].
