Acetone → 1-Hydroxy-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.066 M DMD in acetone (9 ml, 0.59 mmol) was added to a cold stirred solution of 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-pyrroline-3-carboxamide (Frinton, Vineland NJ, 100 mg, 0.59 mmol) in acetone (5 ml). The mixture was stirred for two hours. Evaporation of the solvent on a rotary evaporator gave a colorless crystalline solid which was dried in vacuo for 6 hours. Sublimation of the solid at 10-3 torr gave a white solid, mp 65-171.
