Reaction Steps

NEt3 was added to a stirred mixture of 4-azidobutanoic acid in THF (0.3 M) cooled to −78° C. and stirring was continued at this temperature for 10 min. Pivaloyl chloride (1.3 eq) was added dropwise. The resulting mixture was warmed to 0° C. and stirred for 1 h before re-cooling to −78° C. In a separate flask, (4S)-4-benzyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one was dissolved in THF (0.8 M) and cooled to −78° C. before dropwise addition of N-BuLi (1.6M, 1.35 eq.) over 10 min. The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 h and then transferred into the −78° C. solution of mixed anhydride using a syringe. The reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 1 h, then at RT for a further 1 h. The reaction was quenched by addition of sat. aq. NH4Cl before partitioning between H2O and EtOAc. The layers were separated and the aqueous phase re-extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by FC eluting with 10 to 30% EtOAc/PE to give the product as a colourless oil (74%). (ES+) m/z 289 (M+H)+.
