Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2S)-2-t-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl 1-methyl-5-pyrrolidone (16 g) in tetrahydrofuran (160 ml) was added Lawesson's Reagent [2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)1,3-dithia-2,4-diphosphetane-2,4-disulfide] (14.6 g) at ambient temperature. After stirring at 60° C. under nitrogen for 1 hour, the solvent was removed. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with a mixture of acetone and dichloromethane (1.9 V/V) to give (2S)-2-t-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl-1-methyl-5-thioxopyrrolidine (17.0 g).
