Triethylamine → (2R,4S)-1-t-butoxycarbonyl-4-methanesulfonyloxy-2-methoxycarbonylpyrrolidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2R,4S)-1-t-butoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxy-2-methoxycarbonylpyrrolidine (3.17 g: 12.9 mmole) in dichloromethane (16 ml) in a nitrogen atmosphere under ice cooling, triethylamine (2.15 ml: 15.5 mmole) and methanesulfonyl chloride (1.19 ml: 15.5 mmole) are added. The mixture is stirred to react for 30 minutes to give (2R,4S)-1-t-butoxycarbonyl-4-methanesulfonyloxy-2-methoxycarbonylpyrrolidine as oil (4.13 g). Yield: 99%. NMR δ(CDCl3) ppm: 1.46(d, J=8.4 Hz, 9H), 2.3(m, 1H), 2.5 to 2.8(m, 1H), 3.08(s, 3H), 3.8 to 4.0(m, 5H), 4.3 to 4.6(m, 1H), 5.3(m, 1H).
