Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2S,4R)-1-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-hydroxy-2-[(Z)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)vinyl]pyrrolidine (5.2 g) in a mixture of ethyl acetate (50 ml) and triethylamine (2.90 ml) was added dropwise methanesulfonyl chloride (1.24 ml) under ice-cooling with stirring and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour. To the reaction mixture were added ethyl acetate (50 ml) and water (30 ml). The organic layer was washed successively with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The resulting residue was chromatographed on silica gel (150 g) eluting with a mixture of n-hexane and ethyl acetate (1:2, V/V). The fractions containing the desired compound were collected and evaporated in vacuo to give (2S,4R)-1-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-methanesulfonyloxy-2-[(Z)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)vinyl]pyrrolidine (4.14 g).
