Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (1R,2R)-trans-2-acetoxy-1-cyclopentanol (1.0 g, 6.9 mmol) in dichloromethane (25 mL) at 0° C. under nitrogen atmosphere was added pyridine (0.88 mL, 10.4 mmol) followed by a solution of triphosgene (1.03 g, 3.5 mmol) in dichloromethane (25 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. to provide the corresponding 2(R)-acetoxycyclopent-1(R)-yl chloroformate which was carried to next step without further purification.
