Reaction Steps

The mixture of (R)-4-((S)-6-(trans-4-tert-butylcyclohexyloxy)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)-4-methyloxazolidin-2-one (46.6 mg, 0.000121 mol) (from isomer 4) and lithium hydroxide (31.8 mg, 0.00133 mol) in ethanol (0.77 mL, 0.013 mol) and water (0.26 mL, 0.014 mol) was heated to reflux for overnight. LCMS showed starting material was consumed and peak Rf=1.66 min left. The solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue was partitioned between water and dichloromethane. The aqueous layer was extensively extracted with dichloromethane and the combined organic phase was dried over Na2SO4. The concentrated residue was taken up into dichloromethane and subjected to chromatography purification with dichloromethane/MeOH (10:90 to 80:20) to give the product. (15.7 mg, 36% yield). LCMS 360.43 ([M+1], 100%). NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ ppm 0.89 (s, 9H), 1.07 (s, 3H), 1.09-1.54 (m, 6H), 1.79-1.87 (m, 3H), 2.04 (m, 1H), 2.15 (m, 2H), 2.53 (dd, J=15.5, 12.3 Hz, 1H), 2.72-2.86 (m, 3H), 3.46 (d, J=11.0 Hz, 1H), 3.55 (d, J=11.0 Hz, 1H), 4.07 (m, 1H), 6.59 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 6.63 (dd, J=8.3, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 6.94 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H).
