Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of (S)-tert-butyl 2-(4,5-diiodo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (6) (18.0 g, 36.8 mmol) in 800 mL EtOH/H2O (v/v=30:70) solution was added Na2SO3 (39.4 g, 312.9 mmol). The mixture was refluxed for 17 h. EtOH was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was diluted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4 and then concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (PE/EtOAc=3:1 (v/v)) to afford (S)-tert-butyl 2-(4-iodo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (7), (10.5 g, 80% yield) as a white solid. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO) δ 1.16 (s, 5H), 1.38 (s, 4H), 1.80-1.91 (m, 3H), 2.08-2.18 (m, 1H), 3.30-3.46 (m, 2H), 4.66-4.76 (m, 1H), 7.16 (d, 1H, J=14 Hz), 12.04-12.09 (m, 1H) ppm; LC-MS (ESI): m/z calcd 364.0 (M+H)+.
