Reaction Steps

Formic acetic anhydride (27.78 g, 0.32 mol) followed by TEA (52.7 mL, 0.38 mol) were added to a cooled (0° C.) solution of 2(R)-(benzyloxyamino-methyl)-3-cyclopentyl-propionic acid in THF (180 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 0° C. and then at room temperature for 1 hour before the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, 25-100% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the title compound as a colourless oil (36.10 g, 94%).
