Procedure

To a solution of (2S,55)-tert-butyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)-5-methylpyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (5.15 g, 23.9 mmol) in dichloromethane, was added TEMPO (0.075 g, 0.48 mmol), sodium bromide (0.246 g, 2.39 mmol) and sodium bicarbonate (0.442 g, 5.26 mmol). Sodium hypochlorite (2.67 g, 35.9 mmol) of a 6% solution was added and the biphasic mixture was vigorously stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was extracted two times with dichloromethane (2×100 mL). The organic layers were combined and washed with saturated sodium thiosulfate solution, dried with sodium sulfate and the solvent was removed in vacuo to yield (2S,5S)-tert-butyl 2-formyl-5-methylpyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (3.9 g, 18.29 mmol, 77%) as a slight colored oil and was used directly in the following step.
