Hydrochloric Acid → (3R,5S)-allyloxycarbonyl-5-(5-chloroimidazo[5,1-b]thiazol-2-yl)methyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.430 g of (3R,5S)-1-allyloxycarbonyl-3-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-5-(5-chloroimidazo[5,1-b]thiazol-2-yl)methylpyrrolidine in 31.5 ml of dry acetonitrile is cooled to 3° C., 1.3 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid is added dropwise thereto while maintaining the internal temperature at 4° C. or below, and the mixture is stirred in this state for 15 min. The reaction solution is diluted with 200 ml of ethyl acetate, washed with 40 ml of a 5% aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution (aqueous layer pH 9) and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent is removed by evaporation under reduced pressure to give a crude product which is then purified by column chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate) to give 1.020 g of (3R,5S)-allyloxycarbonyl-5-(5-chloroimidazo[5,1-b]thiazol-2-yl)methyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine as a slightly yellow viscous material.
