Participants

Reaction Steps

(R)-4-(6-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl)-4-methyloxazolidin-2-one (2.0460 g, 0.0084108 mol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL, 0.2 mol) in a 100 mL RBF equipped with a magnetic stir bar. 4-tert-Butyl-cyclohexanol (1.58 g, 0.0101 mol) was added, followed by triphenylphosphine (3.53 g, 0.0134 mol) and the mixture was stirred for a few minutes. Diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (2.65 mL, 0.0134 mol) was then slowly added and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting product was adsorbed to silica gel and purified by flash chromatography (0-55% EtOAc in hexanes) to give 2.07 g of the title compound (64% yield).
