Procedure
A solution of N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-4-hydroxy-N-isopropylbutylamine (539 mg, 2.33 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (11 ml) at −40° C. was treated with potassium t-butoxide (1 M in tetrahydrofuran, 2.54 ml, 2.54 mmol). After 40 minutes, the suspension was cooled to −78° C. and treated with a solution of 2-fluorobenzyl bromide (400 mg, 2.12 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (4 ml). The reaciton was slowly warmed to room temperature and stirred for about five hours. The reaction was diluted with methylene chloride and washed with 1 M potassium carbonate and brine. The organic fraction was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The crude oil was purified by liquid chromatography to yield 555 mg (77%) of the title intermediate as a clear oil.
