Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of D-(-)-α-phenylglycinol (1.18 g, 8.43 mmole) and triethylamine (3.18 mL, 23 mmole) were dissolved in dry tetrahydrofuran (20 mL), cooled down to 0° C. (ice bath) and treated dropwise with furoyl chloride (0.76 mL or 1.0 g, 7.66 mmole). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1.0 hour, diluted with ether (100 mL) and washed with 5% HCl (20 mL). The aqueous phase was re-extracted with ether (100 mL) and the combined ether extracts were washed with brine (20 mL), dried (anhydrous MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to dryness to give the title compound (1.79 g, quantitative crude yield) as a solid, m.p. 130-131° C.
