Sodium Hydroxide → (3R)-4-(3-(isobutoxycarbonylamino)pyrrolidine-1-carbonyloxy)adamantane-1-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (3R) (1-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-adamantyl) 3-(isobutoxycarbonylamino)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (130 mg, 0.28 mmol) in THF (5 mL) and MeOH (10 mL) was added 5% aq NaOH (5 mL). The mixture was stirred at rt for 3 d. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, diluted with water (15 mL) and washed with ether (80 mL). The aqueous layer was diluted with 10% aq citric acid (30 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×40 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to leave (3R)-4-(3-(isobutoxycarbonylamino)pyrrolidine-1-carbonyloxy)adamantane-1-carboxylic acid (178 mg) as an oil.
