Procedure
(S)-4-Benzyl-2-oxazolidinone (15.1 g, 85.0 mmol) was dissolved in THF (200 mL, 2.5 mol), cooled at −78° C. under nitrogen, and stirred for 10 minutes. 1.6 M of n-butyllithium in hexane (53.1 mL) was added dropwise and stirred for 15 minutes. 4-Methylpentanoyl chloride (12.6 g, 93.5 mmol) was added dropwise, stirred for 30 minutes at −78° C., then warmed to 0° C. for 2 hours. 150 mL of saturated NaHCO3 was added and the mixture was warmed to room temperature for 30 minutes. The mixture was extracted with DCM, washed with Na2CO3 (5%) and saturated aqueous NaCl, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. Excess oxazolidinone was removed using hexanes to provide intermediate (2a) (14.5 g).
