Methanol → 3-Isopropylpyrrolidine trifluoroacetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-isopropenyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole trifluoroacetate (2.09 g, 0.00936 mol) in methanol (100.0 mL, 2.469 mol) was added 1.3 g of Pd (10% wt. on activated carbon), then the mixture was hydrogenated on par shaker at 43 psi for 3 h. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dried under high vacuum to afford the product as a white solid. LC-MS (M+H) 114.2 (base) [M+H) 130.1 base, for the corresponding alcohol].
