Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of S-(−)-4-benzyl-2-oxazolidinone (8.0 g, 45.1 mmol) in THF (75 mL) at −70° C., is added n-BuLi (19.8 mL, 49.6 mmol, 2.5 M in hexane) slowly. After stirring at −70° C. for 1 hour, 5-bromovaleryl chloride (11.7 g, 58.7 mmol) is added dropwise. After stirring at −70° C. for 20 minutes, the cooling bath is removed and the reaction mixture is warmed to 25° C. and stirred for 2 hours. The solution is diluted with 150 mL of ether, and washed with 2×100 mL of water. The combined organic layers is dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The crude product is purified by chromatography (hexane/EtOAc:85/15) to give a white solid (15.3 g, 99.7%). (NMR and MS data confirmed, U-3133-51-24).
