Reaction Steps

(1R,2S,5R)-tert-Butyl 2-((S)-3-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)-2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)-7-oxo-6-aza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-6-carboxylate (2.0 g) was dissolved in THF (50 mL) and water (15 mL) prior to the addition of NaBH4 (827 mg). After 5 h, the reaction was quenched with saturated NaHCO3 solution and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The organic extracts were combined, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford tert-butyl (1R,3R,4S)-4-((S)-3-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexylcarbamate (2.1 g). MS (ES+)=462.5 (M+H)+.
