Reaction Steps

A 1.0M solution of tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran (4.35 ml) was added to a solution of tert-butyl 3-[2-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)ethyl]-2-oxoimidazolidine-1-carboxylate (1.50 g) in tetrahydrofuran (15 ml), and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. Methanol (1 ml) was added to the reaction solution, and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform:methanol=20:1→10:1) to yield tert-butyl 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-oxoimidazolidine-1-carboxylate (940 mg) as a colorless oil.
