300 mg (0.92 mmol) of (2R,4R)-4-(3,4-difluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)hexanal and 146 mg (0.92 mmol) of 5-amino-2-methylquinazoline are dissolved in 20 ml of toluene, and the solution is admixed with 0.29 ml (0.92 mmol) of titanium tert-butoxide and 0.1 ml of acetic acid. The reaction mixture is heated at 100° C. for 2 hours, cooled, poured into water and stirred vigorously. The suspension is filtered through Celite, the filter bed being rinsed thoroughly with ethyl acetate. The phases of the filtrate are separated and extraction is carried out again with ethyl acetate. The extracts are washed with saturated sodium chloride solution and dried over sodium sulphate and the solvent is removed in vacuo to give 349 mg of (2R,4R)-4-(3,4-difluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)-1-[(2-methylquinazolin-5-yl)imino]-2-(trifluoromethyl)hexan-2-ol as a crude product. The crude imine is dissolved in 35 ml of CH2Cl2 and the solution is cooled to −30° C. 6 ml (6 mmol) of a 1 M BBr3 solution in dichloromethane are added slowly dropwise over 5 minutes and the reaction solution is allowed to warm to room temperature over 16 hours. It is poured onto a mixture of saturated NaHCO3 solution and ice. Extraction is carried out repeatedly with ethyl acetate and the extracts are washed with saturated NaCl solution and dried over Na2SO4. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane/isopropanol 0-10%) and subsequent HPLC separation on a chiral stationary phase afford 70 mg of product (analytical HPLC: Rt=8.36 min (Chiralcel OD 5μ, 250×4.6 mm, hexane/ethanol 5%, 1 ml/min flow rate) as the (−)-enantiomer.
