Methanol → 6-(3-Bromobenzyl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was synthesized from methyl 6-(3-bromobenzyl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]pyrrole-2-carboxylate (0.151 g, 0.45 mmol) and lithium hydroxide (0.193 g, 4.6 mmol in 2 mL water), according to General Procedure 7. A 1:1 mixture of methanol (MeOH) and THF (4 mL) was used. The resulting product was purified by reverse phase HPLC, eluting with a gradient of 40-100% MeOH: water (with 0.1% formic acid) to afford a light pink solid: 0.014 g (10% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, METHANOL-d4) δ ppm 2.03-2.13 (m, 1H), 2.37-2.46 (m, 4H), 2.68 (dd, J1=13.28 Hz, J2=8.88 Hz, 1H), 3.08 (dd, J1=13.52 Hz, J2=4.73 Hz, 1H), 6.56 (s, 1H), 7.10-7.12 (m, 1H), 7.17 (t, J=7.74 Hz, 1H), 7.32-7.35 (m, 2H); LCMS-MS (ESI−) 318.0 (M−H); HPLC (UV=96.26%), (ELSD=100%).
