Tetrahydrofuran → (3R)-3-{[(9-hydroxy-9H-fluoren-9-yl)carbonyl]oxy}-1-methyl-1-(4-oxo-4-phenylbutyl)pyrrolidinium formate

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.575 g (1.858 mmol) of 9-Hydroxy-9H-fluorene-9-carboxylic acid (3R)-1-methylpyrrolidin-3-yl ester (Intermediate I-10) and 1.018 g (5.576 mmol) of 4-chloro-1-phenylbutan-1-one in 6 ml of THF were refluxed for 20 days. After this time THF was poured off, and the residue was washed with THF in order to eliminate the alkylating agent. The product obtained (234 mg) was purified by preparative HPLC-MS to give 65 mg (7%) of the title compound (mixture of two stereoisomers) as a formate.
