Benzoyl chloride → HCID 67837462, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In the presence of triethylamine, 59 g of benzoyl chloride was reacted at room temperature with 81.4 g of trans-3-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4-methylpyrrolidine in methylene chloride, whereby 120 g of trans-3-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4-methyl-1-benzoylpyrrolidine (a) was obtained. Hydrochloric acid was then reacted at room temperature with 123 g of the compound (a) in ethanol, so that 83 g of trans-3-amino-4-methyl-1-benzoylpyrrolidine (b) was obtained. In methylene chloride, 68.4 g of (R)-(-)mandelic acid was then reacted at room temperature with 83 g of the compound (b) in the presence of 87.3 g o 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, 87.4 g of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride and 46.5 g of triethylamine. 34 g of trans-3-(2-(R)-2-phenyl-2-hydroxyacetylamino)-4-methyl-1-benzoylpyrrolidine diastereomer (A), (c) was obtained. Acetic acid and hydrochloric acid were then reacted with the compound (c) under reflux, whereby 16.8 g of (-)-trans-3-amino-4-methylpyrrolidine dihydrochloride was obtained as a colorless solid.
