Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 0° C. solution of phosgene (20% in toluene, 1.132 mL, 2.151 mmol) in DCM (9 mL) was treated slowly with a solution of (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)imidazolidin-2-one (0.28 g, 1.793 mmol) and pyridine (0.290 mL, 3.59 mmol) in DCM (9 mL) and stirred at 0° C. for 45 min. The mixture was concentrated to dryness to afford crude (R)-2-oxo-3-(tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)imidazolidine-1-carbonyl chloride (100% yield assumed) which was used without further purification.
