Procedure

A mixture of (R)-methioninol (4.95 g), benzonitrile (8.3 mL) and zinc bromide (250 mg) was stirred at 120° C. for 90 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was washed with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered again. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, and the resultant crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (solvent; hexane/ethyl acetate=5/1 to 3/1) to give (R)-4-(2-methylthioethyl)-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole (3.94 g, yield: 48.6%) as a colorless oil.
