| Introduction | Methyl cyclopentane formate is an important pharmaceutical intermediate, such as it can be used to prepare ruzolitinib. |
| preparation | preparation of methyl cyclopentanecarboxylate: at 25°C, to cyclopentanecarboxylic acid (5.0g,43.8mmol) dichloromethane (30mL) and methanol (10mL) solution Add (trimethylsilyl) diazomethane (2.0M hexane solution, 109mL,219.0mmol). After adding, the solution was stirred at 25°C for 2h, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain methyl cyclopentane formate (5g,89%), which was a yellow oil. |
