Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1R,2S)-ethyl 1-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-2-vinylcyclopropanecarboxylate (15.3 g, 59.9 mmol) in THF (100 ml) was added 9-BBN (180 ml, 90 mmol) dropwise at 0° C. The formed solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. The final solution was cooled back to 0° C. while 3 M acetic acid, sodium salt (180 ml, 540 mmol) was added. To this well stirred mixture, hydrogen peroxide (89 ml, 869 mmol) was added dropwise (Caution should be exercised since the addition was exothermic). The formed warm two layer mixture was stirred overnight. Separated the upper organic layer. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine. Dried over MgSO4, filtered, evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel column, eluted with 4:1, 3:1, 2:1, then 3:2 Hexane-EtOAc to afford the desired product (1R,2S)-ethyl 1-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)cyclopropanecarboxylate (11.50 g, 42.1 mmol, 70.2% yield) as a viscous oil, which solidified upon standing on the bench. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.18-1.21 (m, 1H), 1.25 (t, J=7 Hz, 3H), 1.35-1.40 (m, 1H), 1.44 (s, 9H), 1.61-1.65 (m, 1H), 1.70-1.75 (m 1H), 1.91-1.98 (m, 1H), 3.61-3.65 (m, 1H), 3.71-3.75 (m, 1H), 4.10-4.21 (m, 2H), 5.17 (b, 1H).
