Hydrochloric Acid → 2-Methyl-[1,3']bipyrrolidinyl hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Methyl-[1,3′]bipyrrolidinyl-1′-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (5.50 g, 21.62 mmol) was treated with 20 mL of 4 M HCl in dioxane at 0° C. The solution was stirred under nitrogen at r.t. overnight. TLC (10% MeOH in DCM) did not detect the starting material. N2 was passed through the solution with stirring. The outlet was passed through KOH solution to absorb HCl for 30 min. The solvent was removed by evaporation to dryness to get the title compound as a hygroscopic gummy material, 5.3 g (˜100%). This material was used without further purification in subsequent steps as illustrated below. LCMS: RT=0.35 minutes, MS: 155 (M+H).
