Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzyl 2,3-dihydroxypropylcarbamate in DMF (0.1 M) was added TBDMSCl (2.2 eq.) and imidazole (2.5 eq.) at room temperature. After stirred for 20 h, the reaction mixture was worked up with EtOAc, which was washed with water and brine. The organic layer was separated, dried and concentrated to give the crude bis-silylated product, which was dissolved in methanol (0.16 M) followed by addition of p-toluenesulfonic acid (0.1 equiv.) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1.5 h at the same temperature. After quenched with saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution, the reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc, which was washed with water and brine. The organic layer was separated, dried, concentrated, and purified on silica gel with 0-100% EtOAc/Hexanes gradient elution to provide the pure benzyl 2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-3-hydroxypropylcarbamate.
