Borane → (2r,4r)-4-(n-Tert-butoxycarbonylaminomethyl)-2-hydroxymethyl-n-tert-butoxycarbonylpyrrolidine

Temperature

0 °C

A solution of trans-4-(N-tert-butoxycarbonylaminomethyl)-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-D-proline (1.0 g, 2.9 mmol) in anhydrous THF (24 mL) was cooled to -10° C. and borane in THF (1M, 26 mL) was added at that temperature. The reaction was left to stir for 5 hours at 0° C. The reaction was quenched with methanol (100 mL) at 0° C. and left for 1.5 hours to stir at 20° C. The solvents were removed in vacuo , and EtOAc (100 mL) was then added to the reaction mixture and the organic phase washed with 1M NaOH (2×50 mL), brine (2×50 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (50% EtOAc:Hexanes) to give the title compound (433mg, 45%).
