General description

N-Boc-pyrrolidine is an N-substituted pyrrolidine. It is reported that the reactivity of N-Boc-pyrrolidine towards C-H insertion reaction is 2000 times more than cyclohexane. It undergoes α-arylation in the presence of a palladium catalyst with high enantioselectivity.

Application

N-Boc-pyrrolidine may be used in the synthesis of the following:
  • 2-aryl-N-boc-pyrrolidines
  • scalemic 2-pyrrolidinylcuprates
  • 2-alkenyl-N-Boc-pyrrolidines
  • 1-deoxycastanospermine
  • methylphenidate analogues
  • (+)-elaeokanine A

A comprehensive study of the enantioselective Pd-catalyzed α-arylation of N-Boc pyrrolidine has been carried out. The protocol involves deprotonation of N-Boc pyrrolidine using s-BuLi/(-)-sparteine in TBME or Et(2)O at -78 °C, transmetalation with ZnCl(2) and Negishi coupling using Pd(OAc)(2), t-Bu(3)P-HBF(4)
