Procedure: To a stirring solution/suspension comprised of N-hydroxyphthalimide (Aldrich, 57.15 g, 339.8 mmol), cyclopropanemethanol (Aldrich, 25.10 g, 341.1 mmol), and triphenylphosphine (“DEAD,” Aldrich, 91.0 g, 344 mmol) in 1.00 L of tetrahydrofuran under a nitrogen atmosphere and cooled to 6° C. (internal mixture temperature) with an ice-water bath was added diethyl azodicarboxylate (Aldrich, 56 ml, 356 mmol) dropwise over 20 minutes via addition funnel. The reaction mixture temperature was kept below 20° C. during the addition. Following addition of the DEAD, the cold bath was removed and the reaction mixture was stirred for 15 hours. The mixture was concentrated to a paste under reduced pressure. Chloroform (ca. 300 ml) was added and the mixture swirled to loosen all solids. Vacuum filtration removed the insolubles. The filtrate was likewise filtered to remove white precipitate that formed and to give a clear filtrate. Concentration under reduced pressure afforded a clear oil. Flash filtration through silica gel (100% chloroform) gave filtrates containing unseparated product. These filtrates were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 127.4 g of a clear oil. The oil was dissolved in absolute ethanol (400 ml) and the solution was refrigerated for two hours. A white crystalline solid had precipitated and was subsequently collected by vacuum filtration. The product was dried in the vacuum oven (60° C.) to afford 42.66 g (58%) of the desired material; m.p. 71-77° C.; 1H-NMR (400 MHz; CDCl3 signal offset to δ6.96) δ7.54-7.43 (m, 4H), 3.74 (d, 2H, J=7.6 Hz), 1.02-0.95 (m, 1H), 0.34-0.30 (m, 1H) 0.04-0.00 (m, 1H). via addition funnel The reaction mixture temperature was kept below 20° C. during the addition the cold bath was removed The mixture was concentrated to a paste under reduced pressure Chloroform (ca. 300 ml) was added Vacuum filtration removed the insolubles The filtrate was likewise filtered to remove white precipitate that formed to give a clear filtrate Concentration under reduced pressure afforded a clear oil Flash filtration through silica gel (100% chloroform) gave filtrates containing unseparated product concentrated under reduced pressure
