Sodium Hydroxide → 1-Iminomethyl-4-pentyl-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid [2-methyl-1-(3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-methylsulfanyl-tetrahydro-pyran-2-yl)-propyl]-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred suspension of 4-pentyl-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid [2-methyl-1-(3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-methylsulfanyl-tetrahydro-pyran-2-yl)-propyl]-amide (153 mg, 0.34 mmol, 1 equiv) and ethyl formimidate (Aldrich) (44 mg, 0.40 mmol, 1.2 equiv.) in dioxane (1 mL) was treated with 1M aqueous NaOH (0.74 mL, 0.74 mmol, 2.2 equiv). After 1 h additional ethyl formimidate (44 mg, 0.40 mmol, 1.2 equiv) was added to the reaction mixture, and stirring was continued for 30 min. The reaction mixture was frozen and lyophilized. The lyophilized powder was purified by column chromatography to furnish the title compound (8 mg): TLC Rf=0.48 CHCl3/ MeOH/32% aqueous AcOH (5:3:1); MS (ESPOS): 447.7 [M+H]+, 469.7 [M+Na]+; MS (ESNEG): 481.6 [M−H+HCl]−.
