Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of (S)-2-amino-4-[4-(4-chloro-phenylamino)-phenyl]-butan-1-ol (210 mg) and sodium acetate (121 mg) in methanol (5 ml) was added dropwise a solution of cyanogen bromide (68 mg) in methanol (0.3 ml). The resulting pale yellow solution was then stirred at room temperature for 16 h. Aqueous ammonia solution (0.4 ml, 25%) was added dropwise and stirring was continued for a further hour. The mixture was then concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography (Isolute® Flash-NH2 from Separtis; gradient: heptane/EtOAc/MeOH) to give (S)-4-{2-[4-(4-chloro-phenylamino)-phenyl]-ethyl}-4,5-dihydro-oxazol-2-ylamine (74 mg, 48%) as a yellow solid. MS (ISP): 318.1 ([{37Cl}M+H]+), 316.1 ([{35Cl}M+H]+).
