Participants

Reaction Steps

(2S,4R)-1-(p-Nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)-2-p-toluenesulfonyloxymethyl-4-benzoyloxypyrrolidine (35.82 g) was dissolved in 90 ml of methylethylketone, and 19.29 g of sodium iodide was added thereto, followed by stirring under reflux for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was cooled down to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was distilled to remove the solvent. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed successively with water, a sodium hypochlorite solution and water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation to give (2S,4R)-1-(p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)-2-iodomethyl-4-benzoyloxypyrrolidine.
