Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

(3S,4S)-3-Bromomethyl-1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-fluoropyrrolidine (1.91 g) was mixed with cyclopropylamine (23.6 mL). The mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 23 hours and was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (100 mL), washed with saturated brine (2×20 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluant: hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1) to give (3S,4S)-1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-3-cyclopropylaminomethyl-4-fluoropyrrolidine as a pale brown oil (1.67 g).
