Procedure

A round bottom flask was charged with (2S,4R)-4-fluoropyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (300 mg, 2254 μmol) and 22 mL MeOH. The heterogeneous mixture was cooled to 0° C. under nitrogen, and thionyl chloride (181 μl, 2479 μmol) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm slowly to RT, and stirring was continued overnight at 65° C. The mixture was concentrated under high vacuum to provide methyl 4-fluoropyrrolidine-2-carboxylate hydrochloride as a mixture of the (2S,4R) and (2R,4R) diastereomers, confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR.
