Nicotinic Acid → (6-Hydroxy-pyridin-3-yl)-(S)(+)-(2-pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

PS-carbodiimide (1.39 mmol/g) resin beads (2.1 g, 3 mmol) are added to a 10 mL CHCl3/BuOH/MeCN (5:1:1) mixture of nicotinic acid (278 mg, 2 mmol), (S)(+)-1-(2-pyrrolidinylmethyl)pyrrolidine (231 mg, 1.5 mmol), HOBt (300 mg, 2.2 mmol), and triethylamine (0.30 mL, 2.2 mmol). The mixture is shaken at room temperature for 3 days. The reaction mixture is filtered and the beads are washed alternately with MeOH, then CH2Cl2, and the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo. The crude material product is partially purified by a SCX column (MeOH wash, elution with 2M NH3 in MeOH. Further purification is accomplished using silica-gel column chromatography (gradient: 100% CH2Cl2 to 10% 2M NH3 in MeOH/CH2Cl2) to give the title compound (200 mg, 73%). MS (ES+) 276.1 (M+H)+.
