The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The mixture was filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth (Celite®) and the filtrate was concentrated to afford yellow residue which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (20→30% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford t-butyl (1R)-2-bromo-1-(4-(2-methylpentyloxy)phenyl)ethylcarbamate (17.8 g, 100% yield) as a colorless solid: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.18 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 6.86 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 2H), 5.05 (br. s., 1H), 4.91 (br. s., 1H), 3.78 (dd, J=8.8, 5.8 Hz, 1H), 3.68 (dd, J=9.1, 6.8 Hz, 1H), 3.65 (d, J=5.0 Hz, 1H), 1.86-1.97 (m, 1H), 1.60 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 1H), 1.42 (s, 9H), 1.14-1.51 (m, 4H), 0.99 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 3H), 0.90 (t, J=7.3 Hz, 3H); LRMS (ESI) m/e 400.2 [(M+H)+, calcd for C19H31NO3Br 400.1].
