Sodium Hydroxide → tert-butyl [(1R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]{[(3R,4S)-4-phenylpyrrolidin-3-yl]methyl}carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 9.27 g portion of tert-butyl [(1R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]{[(3R,4S)-4-phenyl-1-(trifluoroacetyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl]methyl}carbamate was dissolved in 105 ml of THF-methanol (2:1), mixed with 35 ml of 1 M sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and stirred at room temperature for 1Hour. The reaction solution was concentrated under a reduced pressure, the residue was mixed with water and extracted with chloroform, and the organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. This was concentrated under a reduced pressure, and the thus obtained residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (chloroform-methanol-aqueous ammonia) to obtain 6.97 g of tert-butyl [(1R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]{[(3R,4S)-4-phenylpyrrolidin-3-yl]methyl}carbamate as a colorless oily substance.
