W. Dolling et al., ENANTIOMERIC AND DIASTEREOMERIC ESTERS OF 2-METHOXYMETHYL-PYRROLIDINE-1-DITHIOCARBOXYLIC ACIDS, Monatshefte fuer Chemie, 128(8-9), 1997, pp. 881-891
Formation of the 2-methoxymethyl-pyrrolidine-1-dithiocarboxylates 2-4
and alkylation of 2 and 3 were studied. Enantiomeric and diastereomeri
c derivatives of 4, the preparation of diastereomeric mixtures of 4 by
alkylation of 3 in the presence of strong bases, and formation of 6 b
y phase transfer alkylation of 2 are described. The two enantiomers of
2-(4-bromophenyl)-2-oxo-ethyl 2-methoxymethylpyrrolidine-1-dithiocarb
oxylate 2 have been characterized by X-ray analysis.
