Participants

Reaction Steps

To an AcOEt (270 ml) solution of the (S)-t-butyl 2-((hydroxyimino)methyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (32.0 g) obtained in Example 2-(1), NMP (43.1 ml) was added and after adding NCS (21.94 g) in three divided portions at 20- to 30-min intervals at 30 to 40° C., the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hour. The same reaction was carried out in a total of four runs using the same quantities. To the reaction mixture, water (400 ml) was added and the organic layer was separated. The separated organic layers were combined, washed with water (1.2 L×2), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated to give a crude product (pale yellow solid, 174 g), which was washed with AcOEt/hexane (AcOEt/hexane=140 ml/840 ml) and dried to give the titled compound (109.3 g, colorless solid.)
