Toluene → HCID 66657313, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a toluene solution (7 ml) containing 2.82 g of 3(S)-aminopyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (15 mmol) and 1.82 g of 3-bromobenzonitrile (10 mmol) were added 68.5 mg of BINAP (0.11 mmol), 22.5 mg of palladium acetate (0.1 mmol) and 3.91 g of cesium carbonate (12 mmol). The mixture was heated under reflux under a nitrogen atmosphere for 8 hours. After cooling to room temperature, water was added to the reaction solution, and extraction with dichloromethane was performed. After drying over sodium sulfate and concentration under reduced pressure, the residue was then purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1). The purified product was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to thereby obtain 1.56 g of light yellow powdery 3(S)-(3-cyanophenylamino)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester.
