A practical synthesis of L-valyl-pyrrolidine-(2R)-boronic acid(1) is detailed. A previously disclosed synthesis of 1 (Snow, R.;Kelly, T. R.; Adams, J.; Coutts, S.; Perry, C. (BoehringerIngelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc.). WO 93/10127, 1993) wassignificantly improved by developing an efficient process forrecycling the costly chiral auxiliary (+)- pinanediol.
