Hydrochloric Acid → Pyrrolidine, 1-(3-azetidinyl)-, dihydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.00 g (4.42 mmol) of tert-butyl 3-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)azetidin-1-carboxylate was initially charged in 5.3 ml of 1,4-dioxane, 5.3 ml of 4 N hydrochloric acid in 1,4-dioxane were added and the mixture was stirred at RT overnight. The reaction mixture was then concentrated, foamed with dichloromethane and dried under high vacuum. This gave 950 mg (99% of theory; purity 92%) of the title compound.
