Participants

Reaction Steps

Cool a solution of 3-hydroxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (9.03 g, 59.4 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (125 mL) to 0° C. and add (R)-3-hydroxy-pyrrolidin-2-one (5.00 g, 49.5 mmol) and triphenyl phosphine (15.6 g, 59.4 mmol). Slowly add to this mixture diethylazodicarboxylate (10.2 mL, 64.3 mmol). Warm the reaction mixture to room temperature and stir overnight. Concentrate the mixture under reduced pressure and purify the residue by flash silica gel chromatography to provide 11.2 g of 3-((R)-2-oxo-pyrrolidin-3-yloxy)-benzoic acid methyl ester as an oil.
