Reaktionsschritte

3-Tosyl-Cbz-(R)-pyrrolidine (20.4 g, 0.05 mol) was dissolved in DMSO (54 mL), followed by the addition of KCN (5.3 g, 0.08 mol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 h at 80° C. The solution was cooled to room temperature and brine/H2O (90 mL) (1/1, v/v) was added. The aqueous solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate/hexanes (1/1, v/v) to afford 8.13 g (65% yield) of the desired product as an oil.
