Procedure

(2R,4R)-1-t-Butoxycarbonyl-4-methanesulfonyloxypyrrolidine-2-methanol (i.e., a substrate) and potassium thioacetate (KSAc) are dissolved in dimethylformamide (DMF), and the mixture is stirred. The conditions for this reaction are shown in Table 1, Step A-5. The reaction mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate, and ice water is added. The organic layer is taken, successively washed with aqueous sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, water and saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by silica gel chromatography to give (2R,4S)-4-acetylthio-1-t-butoxycarbonylpyrrolidine-2-methanol.
