Reaction Steps

Under argon a solution of (1R,2S,3R)-3-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-1-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthalenol (BOC-amino-cis-chlorohydrin) (500 mg) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran was refluxed with isoamylamine (1.0 ml) and triethylamine (250 μl) for 5 hours at 90° C. The mixture was poured in aqueous 5% sodium bicarbonate and extracted with methylene chloride. The organic solution was dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated under vacuum to yield an oil. Crystallization of this oil in hexane yielded the title compound as a white solid (270 mg).
