Reaction Steps

Benzyl chloroformate (3.53 mL, 24.6 mmol) was added to a solution of (1R*,5R*)-3-benzyl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-1-ylcarboxylic acid methyl ester (4.27 g, 16.46 mmol) in dichloromethane (50 mL) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred on an oil bath at 40° C. for 23 hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and then the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=90:10→80:20→67:33) to give 2.24 g (45%) of the title compound as a colorless transparent oil.
