Reaktionsschritte

3.27 g (27.5 mmol) of thionyl chloride was added dropwise to a suspension of cis-4-hydroxy-D-proline (3.00 g, 2.9 mmol) in ethanol (15 ml) and the mixture was refluxed for 2 hours. The mixture was concentrated, acetone was added to the residue and the solution was cooled on ice. The resultant precipitate was filtered and 4.23 g of (2R,4R)-(+)-2-(ethoxycarbonyl)-4-hydroxypyrrolidine hydrochloride was obtained as colorless needles (94.5%).
