To a stirred solution of (2S,4S)-1-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-me-
thoxypyrrolidine-2-carboxyaldehyde (12) (263mg, 1.00mmol)
and trans-4-triethylsilyloxycycholhexanecarboxilic acid ethyl
ester (344mg, 1.20mmol) in CH3CN (10mL) were added tri-
ethylsilane (195µL, 1.20mmol) and FeCl3 (8.1mg, 50µmol) at
room temperature under an atmosphere of nitrogen. After 20h
of stirring, the reaction mixture was poured into sat.NaHCO3
