Reaction Steps

A solution of 24.60 g of (R)-tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid-N-benzyl-N-methylamide in 90 ml tetrahydrofuran is added dropwise to 17.00 g of lithium aluminium hydride in 150 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture is refluxed for two hours. For working up it is cooled to 0° C. in an ice bath, mixed with 20 ml of water and 10 ml of 15 N sodium hydroxide solution and stirred for another 20 minutes. Then it is filtered through a layer of magnesium sulfate and washed with a total of about 500 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The filtrate is evaporated down in vacuo, leaving a yellowish oil which is further reacted without any more purification. Yield: 21.10 g (92% of theory); mass spectrum (ESI+): m/z=206 [M+H]+.
