Benzyl 4-Hydroxybenzoate → 2-benzyl 1-tert-butyl (2S,4S)-4-{4-[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]phenoxy}pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-benzyl 1-tert-butyl (2S,4R)-4-hydroxypyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (565 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (10.0 mL) were added benzyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (405 mg) and 1,1′-(azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine (555 mg), and then tri-n-butyl phosphine (0.540 mL) was added thereto under ice-cooling, followed by stirring at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and then the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate) to obtain 2-benzyl 1-tert-butyl (2S,4S)-4-{4-[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]phenoxy}pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (273 mg).
