Isopropanol → tert-Butyl (1S,2R)-1-(3,5-difluorobenzyl)-2-hydroxy-3-[(3-methoxybenzyl)amino]propylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl (1S)-2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-1-[(2S)-oxiranyl]ethylcarbamate (V, 500 mg, 1.67 mmol) and 3-methoxybenzylamine (VI, 0.34g, 2.51 mmol) in 2-propanol (3 mL) is heated at reflux overnight, allowed to cool to 20–25 degrees C., and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is crystallized from ethyl acetate/hexanes and collected by filtration to afford tert-butyl (1S,2R)-1-(3,5-difluorobenzyl)-2-hydroxy-3-[(3-methoxybenzyl)amino]propylcarbamate (VII, 575 mg) as a solid: ESI-MS (m/z): 437 [M+H]+.
