Experiments towards the synthesis of corrins. Part XIV. Oxidative decarboxylation of 1-hydroxypyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acids and oxidation of some Δ1-pyrroline 1-oxides by hypobromite
Abstract
The action of sodium hypobromite on 1-hydroxypyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acids results in rapid evolution of carbon dioxide and formation of Δ1-pyrroline 1-oxides. Oxidations of Δ1-pyrrolinecarboxylic acid 1-oxides and a 2-methylpyrroline 1-oxide have also been studied.
