Reaction Steps

Process B: (3S,4R)-1-Benzyloxycarbonyl-3-bromomethyl-4-hydroxypyrrolidine (492 mg) was dissolved in toluene (1 mL). To this solution, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (0.35 mL) was added and perfluoro-1-octanesulfonylfluoride (0.42 mL) was subsequently added dropwise while the mixture was chilled in an ice water bath. The reaction mixture was stirred at 2° C. for 30 min and then at room temperature for 5 hours. Subsequently, the mixture was poured on a silica gel pad and was eluted with ethyl acetate (80 mL). The eluate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluant: hexane: ethyl acetate=2:1) to give (3S,4S)-1-benzyloxycarbonyl-3-bromomethyl-4-fluoropyrrolidine as a milky white syrup (421 mg).
