Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of trans-3-hydroxy-L-proline (15 g, 0.114 moles) in methanol (200 mL) was added borontrifluoride diethyl ether (42 mL, 0.343 moles) and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 48 h. Once the starting material had disappeared (monitored by TLC) the reaction mixture was concentrated to get the title compound which was used in the next step without further purification.
