Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl (6RS,7SR)-6-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-7-(hydroxymethyl)-1,4-oxazepane-4-carboxylate (2.0 g) in THF (40 mL) were added triethylamine (2.22 mL) and methanesulfonyl chloride (0.82 mL) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. To the reaction solution was added water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. To a solution of the obtained residue (1.6 g) in DMF (9.0 ml) was added sodium cyanide (345 mg), and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 2 days. The reaction solution was allowed to cool to room temperature, water was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (331 mg).
