Hydrochloric Acid → (2E)-3-(4-{[(3R)-1-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinyl]amino}phenyl)acrylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl (2E)-3-(4-{[(3R)-1-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinyl]amino}phenyl)acrylate (1.017 g) in MeOH (3 mL) and dioxane (3 mL) was added 1N NaOH aq solution (5.8 mL), and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. To the mixture was added 1N NaOH aq solution (5.8 mL) and heated at 50° C. for 2 hours. The pH value of the mixture was adjusted to 7 with 1N HCl, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. Obtained solid was suspended in toluene and the residual water was geotropically removed to give (2E)-3-(4-{[(3R)-1-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinyl]amino}phenyl)acrylic acid and the crude product was used in next reaction without further purification.
