N-bromobutanimide → Tert-butyl(2R,5R)-2-(4-amino-3-bromobenzyl)-5-[(R)-hydroxy(phenyl)methyl]pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl (2R,5R)-2-(4-aminobenzyl)-5-[(R)-hydroxy(phenyl)methyl]pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (intermediate i-13b, 108 mg, 0.282 mmol) in DMF (1.5 mL) cooled to 0° C. via ice/water bath was added NBS (55.3 mg, 0.311 mmol) and the resulting solution stirred for 3 h allowing to warm to rt. The mixture was evaporated under vacuum and the residue purified via Biotage Horizon MPLC using a gradient of 0-40% ethyl acetate in hexane to afford the product (83.9 mg, 64%) as a white foam. LC-MS: m/z (ES) 483 (MNa)+ and 485 (MNa+2)+.
