(2S,4R)-4-Azido-1,2-pyrrolidinedicarboxylic Acid 1-(1,1-Dimethylethyl) 2-Methyl Ester → 1-tert-butyl 2-methyl (2S,4R)-4-aminopyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (2S,4R)-4-azido-1-t-butoxycarbonyl-2-methoxycarbonylpyrrolidine (112 g) in methanol (870 ml) was hydrogenated under ambient pressure for 5 hours in the presence of 10% palladium on carbon (20.2 g). After removal of the catalyst by filtration, the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to give (2S,4R)-4-amino-1-t-butoxycarbonyl-2-methoxycarbonylpyrrolidine (93.8 g) as an oil.
