Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl (±)-3-[4-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-1,3-oxazolin-2-yl]-4-[4-(triisopropylsilyloxy)phenyl]butanoate (4.45 g, 8.03 mmole) in CH2Cl2 (40 mL) at 0° C. was added DBU (1.4 mL, 9.64 mmole), followed by bromotrichloromethane (0.95 mL, 9.64 mmole). The mixture was allowed to warm to RT as the bath warmed. After 18 hr the mixture was concentrated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (20% EtOAc/hexanes) to give the title compound (2.23 g, 50%) as a clear oil: MS (ES) m/e 552 (M+H)+.
