Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of (E)-2-methyl-2-hexenoic acid (6.0 g, 47 mmol) in 250 mL of THF at 0° C. was added 16.3 mL (117 mmol) of triethylamine, then 5.8 mL (47 mmol) of pivaloyl chloride resulting in a thick suspension. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 0° C. at which time 2.0 g (47 mmol) of lithium chloride was added in one portion, followed by 10.0 g (42 mmol) of (4S,5R)-4,5-diphenyl-2-oxazolidinone in four batches. Stirring was maintained throughout the solid additions. The resulting mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 0° C., then for 1 hour at ambient temperature, and was vacuum filtered through a coarse frit and concentrated. The residue was partitioned between EtOAc/water, and the organics were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. To the residue was added 100 mL of MTBE and the mixture warmed cautiously with swirling. The warm slurry was filtered to provide 10.5 g (64% yield) of the titled compound as a colorless solid: 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.12 (m, 3H), 7.07 (m, 3H), 6.94 (m, 2H), 6.84 (m, 2H), 6.17 (m, 1H), 5.89 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 5.68 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 2.18 (m, 2H), 1.92 (s, 3H), 1.50 (m, 2H), 0.96 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 3H).
