p-Toluenesulfonic acid → tert-Butyl ((S)-1-hydroxy-3-((R)-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)propan-2-yl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-tert-butyl 2,2-dimethyl-4-(((R)-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)methyl)oxazolidine-3-carboxylate (643 mg, 2.15 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) was added p-TSA (37 mg, 0.22 mmol), then the solution was stirred at rt for 12 hr. TEA (2 mL) was added, followed by Boc2O (46 mg, 0.21 mmol). After the addition the reaction solution was stirred for another 30 min. The organic solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give the crude product tert-butyl (S)-1-hydroxy-3-((R)-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)propan-2-ylcarbamate. It was used in the next step without further purification. MS ESI+ve m/z 260 (M+1).
