Procedure

DMSO (597 μL, 8.42 mmol) was added to a solution of oxalyl chloride (427 μL, 5.05 mmol) in DCM (25 mL) at −78° C. After 5 minutes, benzyl 3-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (generated in Step 1) was added. The reaction was continued for 30 minutes at −78° C. TEA (2.3 mL, 17 mmol) was then added. The resulting mixture was then allowed to warm to room temperature over the course of 30 minutes. Water was then added. The layers were separated and the organic phase was washed sequentially with 0.1 N HCl, water, saturated NaHCO3, and brine. The organic phase was then dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent was removed in vacuo to afford the product (0.82 g, 88% over two steps).
