Citric Acid → 1-(1,1-Dimethylethyl) (2S,4S)-4-((((1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl)amino)methyl)-1,2-pyrrolidinedicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (29 mg) was added to a stirred solution of trans-4-(N-tert-butoxycarbonylaminomethyl)-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-L-proline methyl ester (C, 204 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL)-methanol (1 mL)-water (1 mL) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hr. The reaction mixture was acidified with 10% citric acid and extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound (167 mg).
