Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of {(3S)-1-[(1R)-1-phenylethyl]pyrrolidin-3-yl}methanol (6.62 g, 32 mmol) and imidazole (4.77 g, 70 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (90 ml) was added tert-butyldimethylchlorosilane (5.28 g, 35 mmol) at 0° C. and the resulting mixture was warmed to room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight and poured into water. Extraction with ethyl acetate was performed. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solution was concentrated and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent; hexane/ethyl acetate=90/10 to 75/25) to afford (3S)-3-({[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}methyl)-1-[(1R)-1-phenylethyl]pyrrolidine (8.81 g, 27.6 mmol, 86%) as a colorless oil.
