Procedure

To a 0° C. solution of 25 g of (S)-2-pyrrolidinemethanol in 150 ml of diethyl ether is added 54.8 g of benzyl chloroformate. At mid point of addition, 49.4 ml of 5N sodium hydroxide is added, simultaneously, and the reaction stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours. Diethyl ether is added, the layers are separated and the aqueous layer reextracted with diethyl ether. The combined organic layers are dried, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by chromatography (silica gel, 0-10% methyl alcohol/methylene chloride) to give 59.1 g of (S)-2-hydroxymethyl-1-pyrrolidine carboxylic acid phenylmethyl ester.
