Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 14.7 g (29.2 mmol) (2S,4R)-4-Tritylsulfanyl-pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylic acid 1-tert-butyl ester 2-methyl ester was dissolved in 660 ml THF/EtOH (1:1) and treated at RT with 58.4 ml (58.4 mmol) aqueous 1 N NaOH. After 2 h the reaction was poured into aqueous 10% KHSO4/EtOAc (3×). The organic phases were washed with aqueous 10% NaCl solution and dried over Na2SO4 to give 14.8 g (quantitativ) of (2S,4R)-4-Tritylsulfanyl-pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylic acid 1-tert-butyl ester. MS: 488 (M-H)−.
