Reaction Steps

To a solution of trifluoroacetic acid (0.85 ml) in water (18 ml) was added dropwise a solution of (S)-4-[(S)-2-(4-chloro-phenoxy)-propyl]-2,2-dimethyl-oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.34 g) in acetonitrile (3 ml). The mixture was heated for 4 h at 80° C. with mechanical shaking The mixture was then cooled to room temperature and diluted with ethyl acetate. The mixture was washed with aq. sodium bicarbonate solution and then the organic phse was separated, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo to give (25,45)-2-amino-4-(4-chloro-phenoxy)-pentan-1-ol (0.76 g, 92%) as an off-white solid. MS (ISP): 232.1 ([{37Cl}M+H]+), 230.2 ([{35Cl}M+H]+).
