After stirring for 60 min at the same temperature, the reaction mixture was then treated with 3-cyclopentylpropionyl chloride (21.6 mL, 141 mmol) over 0.25 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution (320 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×200 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to yield (4S)-benzyl-3-(3-cyclopentylpropanoyl)oxazolidin-2-one as a white solid (42.4 g, 100%). LCMS: (M+H)+: 302.3.
