Dichloromethane → 1-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-2-nitrobenzoyl)-L-proline methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

6.5 g of L-proline methyl ester and 10.5 g of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide were successively added to an ice-cooled and constantly stirred solution of 10.7 g of 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-2-nitrobenzoic acid dissolved in a mixture consisting of 180 ml of dichloromethane and 15 ml of N,N'-dimethylformamide, and then the same treatment as in Example 1 was carried out. Thus, there was obtained 12 g of 1-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-2-nitrobenzoyl)-L-proline methyl ester as a yellow-colored prismatic crystal having melting point of 108° to 110° C.
