Reaction Steps

A mixture of indoline (1.42 g, 11.89 mmol) and [(2R,3R)-3-(3-fluorophenyl)oxiran-2-yl]methanol (2.0 g, 11.89 mmol) was heated at 125° C. for 5 hours in a sealed reaction vial. Upon cooling, the crude product was dissolved in ethyl acetate, absorbed on Fluorocil, and purified by Biotage chromatography (FlasH40i, silica, 0-55% EtOAc/hexane) to give 2.55 g (75%) of (2S,3S)-3-(2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-1-yl)-3-(3-fluorophenyl)propane-1,2-diol as a colorless oil. MS (ESI) m/z 288.1 ([M+H]+).
