Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution comprised of (+)-4-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxo-tetrahydro-furan-3-yloxy)-2-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile (1.345 g; 4.495 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) at ambient temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere is added (S)-(+)-sec-butylamine (0.4931 g; 6.742 mmol.) The reaction mixture is stirred for eight days. The reaction mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid and with a brine solution. The organic phase is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and is concentrated in vacuo to afford 1.633 of a white solid as a mixture of diastereomers; HPLC UV purity: 94% (two diastereomers.)
