4-Chlorophenol → 3-(4-Chlorophenoxy)pyrrolidine

Temperature

0 °C

3-Hydroxy-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert butyl ester (2.1 g, 9.9 mmol) and triphenyl phosphine (2.59 g, 9.9 mmol) were dissolved in dry THF (35 ml) under nitrogen. The solution was cooled to 0° C. and 4-chlorophenol (1.28 g, 9.9 mmol) dissolved in dry THF (10 ml) was added followed by diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) (1.55 ml, 9.9 mmol). After 15 minutes the ice bath was removed and the reaction was stirred overnight The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was stirred with ether. The solid triphenyl phosphine oxide was filtered off. The solution was washed three times with sodium hydroxide (1M) and concentrated. The BOC-protected product was purified by flash chromatography on silica using EtOAc/heptane as eluant. It was dissolved in dichloromethane (35 ml) and trifluoroacetic acid (17 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, concentrated and purified by flash chromatography on silica (MeOH:CHCl3:NH3, 100:100:1) to give the subtitle compound (1.72 g, 88%).
