Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-benzyl 2-methyl(2R)-2-((3E)-3-{[(S)-tert-butylsulfinyl]imino}propyl)pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate from Step B (1.56 g, 3.70 mmol) in toluene (30 mL) at −78° C. was added 3,5-difluorophenylmagnesium bromide (14.8 mL of a 0.5 M solution in THF, 7.41 mmol) dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min at −78° C., 3.5 h at −10° C., and then at ambient temperature for 1.5 h. The mixture was quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl (50 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (30 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with a gradient of hexane:EtOAc—95:5 to 0:100, to give the title compound. MS: m/z=537 (M+1).
