Procedure

A 5-L, 3-neck, round bottom flask equipped with mechanical stirrer, thermocouple, addition funnel and nitrogen bubbler was charged with 375 mL (2.84 mol) of (diethylamino)sulfur trifluoride and 400 mL of dichloromethane. The solution was cooled to −78° C. To this was added via addition funnel a solution of 304 g (1.37 mol) of benzyl (3R)-3-hydroxypyrrolidine-1-carboxylate in 400 mL of dichloromethane over a 2-h period keeping the reaction temperature below −70° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir and warm slowly to ambient temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was added portion-wise with caution to a large extractor containing ice, water, and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The mixture was extracted with 8 L of ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to give a brown oil. Purification by flash chromatography (silica gel, eluting with a 10 to 30% ethyl acetate/hexane gradient) gave the title compound as a brown oil.
