Reaction Steps

(2S,3S)-3-(Tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)butyl pivalate (2.2 g, 4.0 mmol) was taken up in 40 mL of THF and chilled to 0° C. TBAF, 1 M in THF (6.0 mL, 6.0 mmol) was added slowly. After 20 minutes, the mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 1 hour. 0.5 mL of additional TBAF was added, and the mixture was stirred for 20 minutes. The mixture was quenched with 20 mL of aq NH4Cl. The mixture was then diluted with 40 mL of water and extracted twice with 50 mL of EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were washed with 50 mL of brine and dried over MgSO4. Filtration and concentration under reduced pressure, followed by flash chromatography on silica gel (5% to 40% EtOAc/hexanes) afforded (2S,3S)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-hydroxy-2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)butyl pivalate (1.5 g, 86% yield) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.59 (d, J=8.22 Hz, 2H) 7.37 (d, J=8.02 Hz, 2H) 4.57 (d, J=6.4 Hz, 1H) 4.45-4.35 (m, 2H) 4.06 (s, 1H) 3.70 (s, 2H) 3.51-3,41 (m, 1H), 1.75 (broad s, 1H) 1.33 (s, 9H) 1.08 (s, 9H).
