Procedure

Sodium borohydride (0.15 g, 4.00 mmol), was added to a solution of 1,1-dimethylethyl (3aR,6aS)-5-oxo-hexahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrrole-2(1H)-carboxylate (0.45 g, 2.00 mmol) in 10 mL methanol at 0° C. and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at this temperature. The solvent was evaporated, the crude mixture was diluted with 100 mL ethyl acetate and washed with water (30 mL), 1M aqueous hydrochloric acid and brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give 1,1-dimethylethyl (3aR,6aS)-5-(hydroxy)-hexahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrrole-2(1H)-carboxylate (0.44 g, 98%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO): 4.08 (m, 1H), 3.40 (m, 2H), 3.30 (m, 2H), 2.50 (m, 2H), 1.98 (m, 2H), 1.40 (s, 9H), 1.30 (m, 2H). MS (EI) for C12H21NO3: 228 (MH+).
