Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2S)-1-allyloxycarbonyl-2 -methoxycarbonylpyrrolidine (2.0 g) in ethanol (30 ml) was added sodium borohydride (1.06 g) at 20° C. and the resulting mixture was allowed to stir for 18 hours at 20°-25° C. The reaction mixture was taken up into a mixture of brine (100 ml) and ethyl acetate (100 ml). The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (50 ml) eluting with a mixture of dichloromethane and acetone (20:1) to give (2S)-1-allyloxycarbonyl-2-hydroxymethylpyrrolidine (769.2 mg).
