Triethylamine → (2S,4R)-tert-butyl-4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-2-((methylsulfonyloxy)methyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2S,4R)-4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-hydroxymethylpyrrolidine (5.3 g) and methanesulfonyl chloride (1.49 ml) in dichloromethane (40 ml) was added dropwise triethylamine (3.2 ml) at 0° C. After one hour, the reaction mixture was washed in turn with 1N-hydrochloric acid, water and brine. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated to give an oil, which was chromatographed on silica gel (250 ml) eluting with a mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate (2:1, V/V) to give (2S,4R)-4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-methanesulfonyloxymethylpyrrolidine (6.06 g).
