Procedure
To a stirred solution Boc-D-prolinamide (2.63 g, 12.3 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (25 mL) at rt was added Lawesson's reagent (2.73 g, 6.75 mmol). The mixture was stirred overnight and concentrated. The oily residue was purified by chromatography on a 40-g silica gel cartridge, eluted with a 0-20% MeOH in CH2Cl2 gradient, to afford (R)-tert-butyl 2-carbamothioylpyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (2.65 g, 94%) as a tan solid. LC-MS Method 1 tR=1.23 min, m/z=231, 173, 131.
