Reaction Steps

Add p-toluene sulfonic acid pyridine salt (0.245 g, 1 mmol) and 2-methoxypropene (4.6 mL, 49 mmol) to a solution of (2R,4R)-2-[(1S,2S)-2-acetylamino-3-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-1-hydroxypropyl]-4-(4-methoxy-benzyloxy)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (5.64 g, 10.55 mmol) in dichloromethane (25 mL) and acetone (25 mL). Stir 60 min and concentrate under reduced pressure. Dissolve residue in ethyl acetate and wash with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dry magnesium sulfate and purify on silica gel with hexanes/ethyl acetate mixtures to give the desired compound as a foam (3.49 g, 61%).
