Two pyrrolidine compounds (1 and 2) were isolated from photo-degradation of Bi-Sifrol tablets. Compound 1 was esterified to p-bromophenacyl ester as single-crystal, and then the structure was elucidated by single-crystal X-ray study. Compound 2 was determined by 2D NMR and mass spectra. Otherwise, we established that the photo-degradation of pramipexole was smoothly carried out in the methanol solution, and elucidate the degradation mechanism. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
