Abstract
Treatment of pyrrolidinemethanol derivatives (-)-1, (-)-6, (-)-7, 8, (-)-9, (+)-10, (-)-11, and (-)-21 with trifluoroacetic anhydride and then with Et 3N afforded, after hydrolysis of the trifluoroacetyl group with NaOH, the o ptically active 3-hydroxypiperidines (-)-14, (+)-15, (-)-16, 17, (+)-18, (- )-19, (-)-20, and (+)-22, respectively. The yields are good and the enantio meric excess excellent (up to 95 %).
