Procedure
(2S,4S)-1-(p-Nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)-2-hydroxymethyl-4-acetylthiopyrrolidine (200 mg) was dissolved in 2 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran. Methyl isocyanate (0.168 ml) was added thereto. The mixture was refluxed for 10 hours and distilled to remove the solvent. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to obtain (2S,4S)-1-(p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)-2-methylaminocarbonyloxymethyl-4-acetylthiopyrrolidine.
