Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl 3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxybenzoate (600 mg, 2.714 mmol), N-tert-butoxycarbonylprolinol (546 mg, 2.714 mmol), and Ph3P (854 mg, 3.257 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added dropwise DIAD (0.68 mL, 3.283 mmol) at room temp and the mixture was stirred for 3 days at room temp, and for 18 hr at 70° C. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue was chromatographed on silica-gel with n-hexane-EtOAc (6:1, v/v) as eluent to give 988.8 mg (90%) methyl 4-[1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-pyrrolidinyl]methoxy-3,5-dichlorobenzoate a pale yellowish oil. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.44 (s, 9H), 1.88–2.15 (br m, 3H), 2.34 (br s, 1H), 3.40–3.44 (m, 2H), 3.92 (s, 3H), 3.92, 4.14 (m, 1H), 4.18 (br s, 2H), 7.98 (s, 2H); MS (FAB) m/z 404 (M++1).
