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
