The mixture was then stirred for 10 h at this temperature. The batch was then cooled to 0-10° C. and the slurry stirred for 6 h. This slurry was then filtered and the cake washed with n-heptane. The solids were then dried under vacuum overnight at 35-50° C. to give tert-butyl 6a-hydroxy-3a,4,6,6a-tetrahydropyrrol[3,4-c]pyrazole-5(1H)-carboxylate.
