Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 3,3-dimethylbutanal (9.90 g, 99 mmol) in acetonitrile (60 mL) were added molecular sieves (8 g) and (R)-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methanamine (10 g, 99 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hr and then filtered. To the filtrate was added potassium thiocyanate (12.78 g, 131 mmol). The temperature was adjusted to 50° C. and the mixture was stirred until the solids were dissolved. Then, iodine (25.09 g, 99 mmol) was added to the mixture and stirred at 50° C. for 24 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled, and to the mixture was added sodium metabisulfite (20%, 100 mL) and stirred for 30 min. The organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was washed with dichloromethane (3×40 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to obtain the crude product as a yellow solid. The residue was taken into dichloromethane (20 mL) and ethyl acetate (80 mL) was added, the mixture was warmed to 40° C., sonicated, and left in the refrigerator overnight. The solid was collected and washed with cold ethyl acetate to obtain the title compound as a white solid (18.2 g, 50%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 1.27 (s, 9H) 1.48-1.61 (m, 1H) 1.78-1.93 (m, 2H) 1.94-2.07 (m, 1H) 3.62-3.71 (m, 1H) 3.76-3.84 (m, 1H) 3.92-4.08 (m, 2H) 4.11-4.20 (m, 1H) 7.19 (s, 1H) 9.39 (s, 2H); MS (DCI/NH3); m/z 241 (M+H)+.
