Reaction Steps

To a suspension of (2S,4R)-4-benzenesulfonyl-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid cyanomethyl-amide hydrochloride (0.13 mmole) prepared in analogy to experiment K1 in THF (1 ml) was added acetic acid (15 ul) followed by the addition of benzaldehyde (0.14 mmole) and stirring was continued at 22° C. for 1 h. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.38 mmole) was added in one portion and stirring was continued at 22° C. for 3 h. The mixture was quenched with aqueous HCL and MeOH and the solution was purified by prep. HPLC (RP-18) using a mixture of acetonitrile and water to give (2S,4R)-4-benzenesulfonyl-1-benzyl-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid cyanomethyl-amide as a colourless oil. MS: 384.1 [M+H]+.
