Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → (2RS,5SR)-3-[5-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-1-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-propionic acid hydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (2RS,5SR)-3-[5-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-1-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-propionic acid methyl ester (1.5 g, 3.7 mmol) in MeOH (15 ml) was added hydrazine hydrate (0.54 ml, 11.1 mmol) and p-TsOH (10 mg) and the reaction mixture was heated under reflux conditions for 24 h. Evaporation and purification by column chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane/MeOH 19:1) yielded (2RS,5SR)-3-[5-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-1-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-propionic acid hydrazide (1.25 g, 83%) as a white solid.
