Participants

Reaction Steps

(3aS,4S,6aR)-2-Benzyloctahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrrol-4-ol (1.476 g, 6.79 mmol) from Step B and triethylamine (1.420 mL, 10.19 mmol) were combined in dichloromethane (30 mL). Methanesulfonyl chloride (0.635 mL, 8.15 mmol) was added as a solution in 20 mL of dichloromethane dropwise via addition funnel. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and concentrated. The crude material was absorbed onto silica gel and chromatographed on a silica gel cartridge (Analogix®, Burlington, Wis., RS25-25) eluting with 20-100% ethyl acetate/hexanes to give (3aS,4S,6aR)-2-benzyloctahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrrol-4-yl methanesulfonate: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.35-7.27 (m, 4H), 7.27-7.20 (m, 1H), 4.96 (ddd, J=6.1, 7.6, 9.1, 1H), 3.71-3.44 (m, 1H), 2.94 (s, J=13.5, 3H), 2.85 (ddd, J=4.9, 8.1, 16.0, 1H), 2.75-2.68 (m, 2H), 2.67-2.55 (m, 1H), 2.54-2.44 (m, 1H), 2.31 (dd, J=4.1, 8.7, 1H), 2.20-2.04 (m, 1H), 1.97 (dtd, J=3.4, 6.2, 9.6, 1H), 1.79-1.63 (m, 1H), 1.61-1.49 (m, 2H).
