Reaction Steps

A mixture of (1R,3S,5R)-3-(toluene-4-sulfonyloxymethyl)-2-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.400 g, 1.08 mmol) and NaN3 (0.420 g, 6.47 mmol) in dry DMSO (8 mL) was stirred at 65° C. overnight. After cooling, the mixture was diluted with Et2O and washed with water (×3) and brine (×2). The organics were dried (phase separator) and concentrated in vaccuo to give the title compound as a colorless oil. MS (LC-MS): 239.0 [M+H]+; tR (HPLC conditions k): 3.78 min. The material thus obtained was used in the next step without further purification.
