Hydrochloric Acid → (2S,4R)-1-((2S,3S)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-3-(pent-4-en-1-yloxy)pentanoyl)-4-hydroxypyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a round-bottom flask equipped with a stir bar was added (2S,4R)-methyl 1-((2S,3S)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-3-(pent-4-en-1-yloxy)pentanoyl)-4-hydroxypyrrolidine-2-carboxylate (all material from step 2, 1.53 g, 3.57 mmol), THF (10 mL) and MeOH (10 mL). To the solution was added aq. LiOH (1.0 M, 5.36 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperatuer for 16 h; then was concentrated in vacuo to afford an aqueous solution. The solution was acidified with aq HCl (1M) and then transferred to a separatory funnel. The solution was twice extracted with EtOAc. The combined organics were dried over MgSO4; filtered; then concentrated in vacuo to afford (2S,4R)-1-((2S,3S)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-3-(pent-4-en-1-yloxy)pentanoyl)-4-hydroxypyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid as a white solid (1.28 g, 86% over two steps).
