Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 8.7 ml (62.1 mmol) of diisopropylamine in 100 ml of dry THF under argon was cooled to -78° C. and treated with 28.3 ml (56.6 mmol) of 2.0M n-butyllithium. The LDA solution was stirred at -78° C. for 15 minutes. To this solution was added a solution of 11.8 g (51.5 mmol) of 2-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazoline in 50 ml of THF, and the reaction mixture was stirred for one hour at -78° C. To the reaction mixture was added 13 ml (102.5 mmol) of chlorotrimethylsilane, and the solution was warmed to room temperature. Water was added; the organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product was chromatographed on silica gel (E. Merck 230-400 Mesh), eluting with 80:20 chloroform:ethyl acetate to give 12.9 g of the title compound, mp 71°-72° C.
