Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-[(4,5-dichloro-thiophen-2-yl)-hydroxy-methyl]-3-propyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.423 g, 1.07 mmoles) and manganese (IV) oxide (1.3 g, 12.7 mmoles) in toluene (20 ml) was refluxed for 2 hours and filtered through a celite pad. The filtrate was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (10% ethyl acetate in hexane) to yield 3-(4,5-dichloro-thiophene-2-carbonyl)-3-propyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as pale yellow solid (0.27 g, 64%). M+Na: 414.
