Hydrochloric Acid → 1-(4-Chlorobenzyl)-3-[(glycylamino)methyl]pyrrolidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-[{N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)glycyl}aminomethyl]-1-(4-chlorobenzyl)pyrrolidine (804 mg, 2.11 mmol) in methanol (10 mL) was added 4 N HCl in dioxane (5 mL). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 3.5 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated and 1 N NaOH solution (20 mL) was added. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (20 mL×3), and the combined extracts were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to give desired 1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-3-{(glycylamino)methyl)pyrrolidine (599 mg, 100%): The purity was determined by RPLC/MS (100%); ESI/MS m/e 282.2 (M++H, C14H20ClN3O).
