Reaction Steps

To a mixture of diethyl 2-(benzylamino)-2-but-3-enyl-propanedioate 81c (13.9 g, 43.6 mmol) in THF (200 mL) was added standard solution of 2 M LiAlH4 in THF (44 ml) dropwise at ice-bath. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature for 3 h. Then the reaction mixture was poured into a mixture of anhydrous sodium sulfate (500 g) and water (50 mL) in ether (300 mL), Then the insoluble solid was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford 2-(benzylamino)-2-but-3-enyl-propane-1,3-diol (9.4 g, 91%) which was used for next step without further purification. MS: calc'd (MH+) 236, measured (MH+) 236.
