Procedure

In a 1 l three-necked flask, 10 g of N-Boc-3-hydroxypyrrolidine are dissolved in 350 ml of dimethyl sulphoxide in the presence of 52.3 ml of triethylamine. 28 g of pyridine-sulphur trioxide complex dissolved in 350 ml of dimethyl sulphoxide are added dropwise to the above solution. The reaction mixture is stirred for 4 hours at ambient temperature. The reaction medium is acidified to pH 4.5-5 with a 1M solution of hydrochloric acid and the reaction mixture is then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. The residue is filtered through silica gel (1/1 heptane/ethyl acetate). 5.7 g of 3-oxo-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester are obtained. Yield: 58%.
