(2S,4R)-4-Hydroxypyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylic acid 1-tert-butyl ester 2-methyl ester → 1-tert-butyl 2-methyl (2S)-4-oxopyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate

Reaction Steps

Jones' reagent (11 mL, 88.5 mmol) is added dropwise over a period of 5 minutes to a solution of Boc-HYP-OMe (3 g, 12.2 mmol) in acetone (150 mL). The stirring is continued for an additional 30 minutes. The reaction is quenched with methanol (3 mL) and stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture is filtered through Celite® and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure. It was diluted with water and extracted with dichloromethane 3 times. The organics are combined and washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield the title compound. ESI m/z 144 [M+H+−100].
