(2S,4R)-4-Hydroxypyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylic acid 1-tert-butyl ester 2-methyl ester → 1-tert-butyl 2-methyl (2S)-4-oxopyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2S,4R)-1-tert-butyl 2-methyl 4-hydroxypyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (40 g, 157 mmol) in DCM (500 mL) was added DMP (80 g, 189 mmol) at 0° C. and the reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 4 h, quenched with NaHSO3, extracted with DCM and washed with NaHCO3. The organic phase was concentrated to provide the title intermediate (33 g, 89% yield) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ(ppm) 1.51 (s, 9H), 2.550-2.597 (d, 1H, J=18.8 Hz), 2.876-2.944 (t, 1H, J=13.6 Hz), 3.895 (s, 3H), 3.766-3.895 (m, 1H), 4.696-4.814 (m, 1H).
