Reaction Steps

15 g (0.12 mol) 4-(S)-isopropyl-2-methyloxazoline are dissolved in 50 ml dichloromethane and cooled to −20° C. 18 g (0.122 mol) Meerwein's reagent are added portionwise. The reaction mixture is stirred for 2 h at room temperature after addition is completed. The solvent is removed under vacuum and the residue is washed with diethyl ether. The yield of 4-(S)-isopropyl-2,3-dimethyl-oxazoliniumtetrafluoroborate is 27 g. The enantiomer excess in the product is >95%.
