Reaction Steps

An ice-cold stirred solution (S)-N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-(2-(3-pyridyl)ethynyl)pyrrolidine (300 mg, 1.10 mmol) in ethyl acetate (25 mL) was treated with concentrated hydrochloric acid (1 mL). The mixture was stirred for 10 min at 0-5° C., then for 3 h at room temperature. The layers were separated and the pH of the aqueous portion was brought to 12 with 1N NaOH. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×25 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with brine (5 mL), then dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated by rotary evaporation. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with chloroform/methanol (90/10, v/v). Selected fractions containing the product were concentrated via rotary evaporation to give 0.120 g of a yellow oil.
