Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2R,4R)-1-allyloxycarbonyl-4-hydroxy-2-[3-(imidazol-1-yl)propyl]pyrrolidine (12.5 g) in tetrahydrofuran (125 ml) were added successively triphenylphosphine (17.6 g) and diethyl azodicarboxylate (10.6 ml) at -10° C. and the solution was stirred at the same temperature for 30 minutes. Then thiobenzoic acid (9.5 ml) was added at the same temperature and the solution was stirred for 3 hours. To the solution was added ethyl acetate (125 ml) and washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (125 ml×2) and brine (250 ml). The solution was dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated to give a yellow oil. The oil was chromatographed on a 500 g of silica gel to give (2R,4S)-1-allyloxycarbonyl-4-benzoylthio-2-[3-(imidazol-1-yl)propyl]pyrrolidine (15.3 g) as a yellow paste.
