A Facile, Six-Step Process for the Synthesis of (3S,5S)-3-Isopropyl-5-((2S,4S)-4-isopropyl-5-oxo-tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)-2-oxopyrrolidine-1-carboxylic Acid tert-Butyl

A facile, six-step process for the synthesis of (3S,5S)-3-isopropyl-5-((2S,4S)-4-isopropyl-5-oxotetrahydro- furan-2-yl)-2-oxopyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester from (S)-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one 2 in an overall 50% yield is reported. The key transformations include: a highly efficient diastereoselective epoxidation, Lewis acid-catalyzed ring-opening with bromide, an SN2 reaction using NaN3, and a tandem reduction鈥揷yclization reaction.
