Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-(1-benzyloxycarbonyloxy-3,3-dimethylbut-2(R)-yl))-3(R)-[3-[4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl]-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]succinamic acid benzyl ester (140 mg, 0.212 mmol) and Pd(OH)2 (60 mgof 20% Pd by content) in MeOH (1 mL) and EtOAc (9 mL) was stirred under H2 atmosphere for 3 hours. The catalyst was filtered onto Celite and rinsed with 10% MeOH/CHCl3 (75 mL). The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to provide a yellow solid, which was precipitated from hot CHCl3solution with hexane to furnish 68 mg(95%) of N-[2,2-dimethyl-1(S)-(hydroxymethyl)propyl]-3(R)-(3-[4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl]-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]succinamic acid as a yellow solid, mp 192-4° C. 1H NMR (CD3OD): δ 8.56 (d, 1H, J=5.9 Hz), 7.78-7.60 (m, 7H), 7.37 (t, 1H, J=1.9 Hz), 6.96 (t, 1H, J=2.5 Hz), 6.54 (t, 1H, J=1.6 Hz), 5.22 (dd, 1H, J=2.5 Hz), 3.83-3.70 (m, 2H), 3.45-3.40 (m, 1H), 3.22 (d, 1H, J=7.5 Hz), 3.02 (dd, 1H, J=7.2, 16.8 Hz), 0.90 (s, 9H). IR (KBr): 3405, 2960, 1718, 1656, 1602, 1560, 1408, 1364, 1203, 922, 818, 783 cm−1. HRFABMS: Calculated for C25H29N3O4Cs (M+Cs+): 568.1212. Found: 568.1189. Anal. Calculated for C25H29N3O4.0.10CHCl3: C, 67.38; H, 6.55; N, 9.39. Found: C, 67.69, H, 6.90; N, 9.65.
