Sulfuric Acid → (2S,4R)-2-(allyloxycarbonylmethyloxymethyl)-4-methanesulfonyloxy-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)pyrrolidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (2S,4R)-2-(carboxymethyloxymethyl)-4-methanesulfonyloxy-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)pyrrolidine (5.20 g) in allyl alcohol (52 ml) was refluxed in the presence of sulfuric acid (0.5 ml) for 5 hours. After cooling, triethylamine (3.14 ml) was added to the mixture. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a syrup. The syrup was dissolved in ethyl acetate (100 ml), washed in turn with water (100 ml) and brine (100 ml), dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give (2S,4R)-2-(allyloxycarbonylmethyloxymethyl)-4-methanesulfonyloxy-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)pyrrolidine (6.05 g).
