Reaction Steps

To a round-bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and an addition funnel under N2 is added N-Boc-L-trans-4-hydroxy-proline methyl ester, PPh3 and anhydrous THF. The solution is cooled to 0 centigrade, DEAD in THF is added; followed by the addition of MeI. The reaction mixture is allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stirred for about 10 hours. The solvent is removed and the crude product is purified to afford 4-iodo-pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylic acid 1-tert-butyl ester 2-methyl ester (31).
