Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of N-(carbobenzyloxy)-3-fluoroaniline (1.000 g, 4.08 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) is cooled with a dry ice/acetone bath to about -78° and then n-butyllithium (1.87 ml of a 1.6M mixture in hexanes, 2.91 mmol) is added. (R)-glycidyl butyrate (0.420 g or 0.413 ml, 2.91 mmol) is then added via syringe and the cooling bath allowed to dissipate overnight, with the reaction mixture reaching 20-25°. The reaction mixture is quenched by the careful addition of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride, the entire mixture transferred to a separatory funnel with dichloromethane washings, and the mixture extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic extracts are dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a concentrate which is purified by chromatography over silica gel, eluting with acetonitrile/chloroform (10/90) containing 1% methanol, to give the title compound.
