Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of (2S, 4S)-1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-phenoxy-2-pyrrolidinylmethanol (2.75 g, 9.37 mmol), Et3 N (7.84 ml, 56.2 mmol), DMSO (6.66 ml, 9.37 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (30 ml) at 0° C. was added SO3-pyridine (4.47 g, 28.1 mmol), then the resulting mixture was allowed to raise to room temperature. After 2.5 h stirring, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo. To the resulting mixture was added water and extracted with Et2O. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel [100 g, CHCl3/acetone (5/1)] to give (2S, 4S)-1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-phenoxy-2-pyrrolidine carbaldehyde (2.54 g, 93%) as a yellow oil. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.45 (s, 9H, one of isomers), 1.49 (s, 9H, one of isomers), 2.17 (br, 2H), 3.65–4.31 (m, 3H), 4.91 (br, 1H), 6.79 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 6.77 (m, 1H), 7.28 (m, 2H), 9.66 (m, 1H).
