Reaction Steps

22 g of (S)-1-tert.butylamino-2,3-dihydroxypropane, 20.7 g of benzaldehyde and 46 cc of benzene are heated at reflux in a water separator for 16 hours. The benzene and benzaldehyde are removed by distillation and the residue is distilled in a high vacuum. (S)-3-tert. butyl-5-hydroxy-methyl-2-phenyloxazolidine is obtained as yellowish oil (B.P. 110°-125° at 0.01 mm of Hg); [α]20546 = 17.8° (c = 1.99; chloroform).
