Methylamine → HCID 22842581, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2R,4R)-1-p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl-2-(2-carboxyethyl)-4-hydroxypyrrolidine (57.73 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran (500 ml), triethylamine (29.27 ml) was added, and ethyl chloroformate (18.74 ml) was further added thereto at -20° to -25° C. under nitrogen stream. The resulting mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 15 minutes and 30% (w/w) ethanolic solution of methylamine (57.5 g) was added thereto, followed by stirring at the same temperature for 1 hour. The solvent was removed, and the residue was combined with water and ether. The precipitated crystals were collected by filtration to give (2R,4R)-1-p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl-2-(2-methylaminocarbonylethyl)-4-hydroxypyrrolidine.
