Hydrochloric Acid → N-Methyl-N-(2-pyrrolidinylmethyl)methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[(methanesulfonyl-methyl-amino)-methyl]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.63 g) in dichloromethane (10 mL) at room temperature was added hydrogen chloride (3.0 mL of a 2 M solution in diethyl ether). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 72 h and then reduced in vacuo to give N-methyl-N-pyrrolidin-2-ylmethyl-methanesulfonamide as a crystalline solid (0.49 g).
