Triethylamine → (S)-1-Boc-3-methanesulfonyloxy-pyrrolidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (S)-3-hydroxypyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.750 g, 4.00 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and charged with triethylamine (0.67 mL, 4.8 mmol), methanesulfonyl chloride (0.34 mL, 4.4 mmol), and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.005 g, 0.04 mmol) and stirred at ambient temperature for 6 h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between CHCl3 and sat. NaHCO3 and separated. The aqueous layer was re-extracted with CHCl3 (3×) and the combined organic fractions were washed with sat. NaHCO3 (2×), brine (2×), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a pale yellow oil. This material was taken on to the next step without further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ=1.47 (s, 9H), 2.05-2.36 (m, 2H), 3.05 (s, 3H), 3.43-3.74 (m, 4H), 5.24-5.30 (m, 1H).
