Reaction Steps

To a mixed solution of tert-butyl (3R,4S)-3-{[(4R)-4-benzyl-2-oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-3-yl]carbonyl}-4-(4-fluorophenyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (0.32 g) obtained in step 2 in THF (14.4 mL) and water (4.8 mL) were added 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide (939 μL) and 4N aqueous lithium hydroxide solution (518 μL) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and extracted with 0.5N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The extract was washed with ethyl acetate, acidified with 10% aqueous citric acid solution, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and saturated brine, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure to give (3R,4S)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-(4-fluorophenyl)pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid (0.185 g, 88%) as a white powder.
