Reaction Steps

(4S,5S)-Tert-butyl 5-((tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)methyl)-2,2-dimethyl-4-(thiazol-4-ylmethyl)oxazolidine-3-carboxylate (0.148 g, 0.334 mmol) in THF (3 mL) was cooled to −78° C. when n-butyllithium (2.5 M in hexanes) (0.160 ml, 0.401 mmol) was added dropwise. The solution was warmed to −50° C. for 40 minutes and then cooled to −78° C. TBS-Cl (0.0605 g, 0.401 mmol) in THF (2 mL) was added dropwise and the solution was allowed to slowly warm to 0° C. when it was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with water, brine and dried over sodium sulfate to afford the title compound, which was used without further purification.
