Procedure

To a stirred mixture of (R)-3-hydroxypyrrolidine (4.35 g, 50 mmol) in THF (50 mL) and aqueous sodium carbonate (10.6 g, 100 mmol in 50 mL water) cooled to 0° C. was added a solution of benzyl chloroformate in THF (60 mmol, 8.6 mL in 10 mL THF) over a period of 5-10 min. After stirring at 0° C. for 2 h, the reaction mixture was diluted with 200 mL water and extracted with methylene chloride (3×100 mL). The combined extracts were washed with 1N sulfuric acid (3×75 mL) followed by brine solution (3×50 mL). This extract was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent evaporated to give a light yellow oil (10.5 g, 95% yield) which was used for the next reaction without any purification.
