Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetic anhydride (0.07 ml, 7.00 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of (1R,3S)-methyl 3-aminocyclopentanecarboxylate (200 mg, 1.39 mmol) in pyridine (5 ml) and stirred for 15 h at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, water and CHCl3 were added. The organic layer was separated and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, brine solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 180 mg (69%) of (1R,3S)-methyl 3-acetamidocyclopentanecarboxylate as brown oil.
