To a solution of oxalyl chloride (42.35 ml, 0.480 mol) in dichloromethane (910 ml) was added a solution of dimethylsulfoxide (68.24 ml, 0.961 mol) in dichloromethane (910 ml) at −70° C. within 45 min. The solution was stirred for 15 min and a solution of 4-hydroxy-6-aza-spiro[2,5]octane-6-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (91.00 g, 0.400 mol) in dichloromethane (910 ml) was added within 40 min keeping the internal temperature at below −60°. The mixture was stirred for 35 min and triethylamine (280.4 ml, 2.00 mol) was added at below −60° C. within 10 min. The cooling bath was removed and the yellow suspension was stirred for 1 h then quenched with water (1.4 l). The organic phase was separated, washed with water (3×1 l) and sat. aq. sodium chloride solution (3 l) and evaporated. The residual orange powder was dissolved in tert-butyl methyl ether (1.40 l), the turbid solution filtered (Hyflo Speedex) to remove some insoluble material and the clear filtrate evaporated to provide crude 4-oxo-6-aza-spiro[2.5]octane-6-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as yellow powder (91.9 g). The material was re-dissolved in tert-butyl methyl ether (300 ml) and purified by filtration over silica gel (700 g) using a 3:1 heptane/tert-butyl methyl ether mixture (6.5 l). Evaporation and drying (10 mbar, 40° C.) afforded 4-oxo-6-aza-spiro[2.5]octane-6-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as whitish powder (80.58 g, 89%), CC purity 100a %.
