Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To the solution of (trans)-tert-butyl 3-azido-4-hydroxypyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (120 g, 0.44 mol, 5/6 purity, containing DCM) in DCM (1.2 L) at −78° C. was added dropwise DAST (141 g, 0.88 mol) in DCM (200 mL). After addition, the mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 hr, then warmed to rt and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into sat. Na2CO3 (2 L) slowly then the DCM phase was washed with water (1 L), sat. NaCl and dried over Na2SO4. Concentrated and purified via flash chromatography (petroleum ether/EtOAc 20/1˜10/1) to give the title compound (48 g, 48% yield) as light yellow oil.
