Procedure
This compound was prepared according to a procedure similar to that described in Procedure A. In a solution of 3-Oxo-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (3.0 g, 16.2 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (40 mL) was dropped in ethynyl magnesium bromide (70 mL, 35 mmol) at −78° C. Then the solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. Then the reaction mixture was quenched with saturated NH4Cl and extracted with dichloromethane, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate to afford 3-Ethynyl-3-hydroxy-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.5 g, 44%).
