Sodium Hydroxide → 3-Hydroxy-hexahydro-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole-1,4-dicarboxylic acid 4-benzyl ester 1-tert-butyl ester

The crude ester (42, 11.7 g crude, ˜11.0 mmol) was dissolved in 1:1 THF/MeOH (75 mL) and cooled to 0° C. and 1M NaOH (45 mL) was added in one portion. After 45 min, the reaction mixture was quenched with glacial HOAc (10 mL) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in EtOAc and the organic solution was washed successively with aqueous NaHCO3 (5×) and brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The crude product was absorbed onto silica gel and purified by flash silica gel chromatography (2:1 to 1:2 hexanes/EtOAc) to provide 43 as a white foam (3.5 g, 88%, 2 steps): 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ7.39 (m, 5H), 5.15 (m, 2H), 4.40 (m, 2H), 4.13 (m, 1H), 3.54 (m, 3H), 3.35 (m, 1H), 2.83 (m, 1H), 2.11 (m, 2H), 1.49 (s, 9H) ppm.
