(Received 26 October 2010; accepted 17 November 2010; online 20 November 2010)

In the title compound, C11H19NO5, the five-membered pyrrolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation. The dihedral angles between the carboxyl group plane, the pyrrolidine ring and the meth­oxy group are 59.50 (3) and 62.02 (1)°, respectively. In the crystal, inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains along [100]. The absolute configuration is assigned in accord with that of (2R,4R)-1-(tert-but­oxy­carbon­yl)-4-hy­droxy­pyrrolidine-2-carb­oxy­lic acid, which was the starting material in the synthesis.

Comment top

Eribaxaban is a direct FXa inhibitors and has a high affinity for human FXa. Clinical data with eribaxaban in the prevention of VTE in TKR patients have recently been presented (Perzborn, 2009; Kohrt et al., 2007).

The title compound (Fig. 1), (2R,4R)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-methoxypyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid is important intermediate in the preparation of Eribaxaban. Some derivatives of Eribaxaban have been reported with high affinity for human FXa (Van Huis et al., 2009; Bigge et al., 2003). Herein, the synthesis and the crystal structure of the title compound are reported; the absolute configuration is assigned by the use of (2R,4R)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4- hydroxypyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid as the starting material for the synthesis.

The pyrrolidine ring of the title compound adopts an envelope conformation with the C3 lying out of the plane. The dihedral angles between the carboxyl group plane, pyrrolidine ring and methoxy system are 120.50 (3)° and 117.98 (1)°, respectively. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O—H···O interactions contribute to the stabilization of the packing. Each molecule is a donor and acceptor for 2 hydrogen bonds (TAble 1).

Experimental top

CH3I (22 g, 0.155 mol) and 60%(w/w)NaH (15 g, 0.625 mol) were dissolved in THF(300 ml), and the resulting mixture was cooled to 273 K in an ice bath. (R,R)-4-Hydroxy-pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, 1-tert-butyl ester(35 g, 0.151 mol)was then added in portions while maintaining a reaction temperature of 278 K or less. The reaction was allowed to warm to 293 K overnight. To the reaction mixture was added H2O (100 ml), 1 N HCl(100 ml) and NaCl(42 g). The layers were separated, and the organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to the white solid (37 g). Colourless single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by recrystallisation from methanol.

Refinement top

All H atoms were geometrically positioned (C—H 0.93–0.98 Å) and treated as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
