Borane;tetrahydrofuran → 1-(4-bromo-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-4-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4-bromo-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid (511 mg) obtained in Step A of Example 7 in THF (3.0 mL) was added 1.1M borane-THF complex THF solution (5.0 mL) under ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 hr, and diluted with ethyl acetate. The diluted solution was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) and (methanol/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (84 mg).
