Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-(2,4-difluorophenoxy)pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (2.55 g, 7.43 mmol) in THF (50 ml) was added BH3.DMS (452 ul, 7.43 mmol). The mixture was heated at reflux overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was concntrated in vacuo and quenced by the addition of H2O (100 ml). The mixture was extracted with CHCl3 (2×200 ml), dried over MgSO4, and evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel with CHCl3-EtOAc (4:1) as eluent to give 1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-(2,4-difluorophenoxy)-2-pyrrolidinylmethanol (1.76 g, 72%) as a colorless oil. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ1.45 (s, 9 H), 2.28-2.36 (m, 2 H), 3.58-4.99 (series of m, 8 H), 6.74-6.90 (m, 3 H).
