Tetraethylammonium fluoride hydrate → (S)-tert-Butyl 2,2-dimethyl-4-(((R)-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)methyl)oxazolidine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-tert-butyl 4-((R)-2-((tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)methyl)-5-(methylsulfonyloxy)pentyl)-2,2-dimethyloxazolidine-3-carboxylate (37.7 g, 74.2 mmol) in THF (1000 mL) was added tetraethylammonium fluoride hydrate (41 g, 185.5 mmol) in portions. The reaction mixture was stirred under reflux overnight. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc (1000 mL), washed with water (300 mL) and brine (500 mL). The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product, which was purified by column chromatography to afford (S)-tert-butyl 2,2-dimethyl-4-(((R)-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)methyl)oxazolidine-3-carboxylate (12.0 g, 54%).
