(2S,3S,4S)-2-(Hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-3,4-diol (1)
To a soln of mesylate 5 (0.1 g, 0.24 mmol) in EtOAc (2.0 mL) was
added 2 M HCl (0.05 mL, 0.61 mmol) at 0 °C and the reaction mix-
ture was stirred for 3 h. The mixture was neutralized to pH 8 with
sat. NaHCO3 soln (1.0 mL) and stirred for 1 h. The mixture was ex-
tracted with EtOAc (3 × 10 mL), then the combined extracts were
dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The crude compound was puri-
fied by flash column chromatography (silica gel, CH2Cl2–MeOH,
1:1) to give 1 as a pale yellow oil; yield: 22 mg (69%).
