Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of TFA (8 mL) was cooled to 4° C. and added to solid (4S)-4-(1 (R)-tert-butoxyethyl)-3-isobutyl-2-(2-methyl-4-nitrophenylimino)-1,3-thiazolidine (Method C5b; 0.16 g, 0.42 mmol) via cannula. The resulting solution was warmed to 20° C. and stirred at that temp. for 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between Et2O (100 mL) and a saturated NaHCO3 solution (100 mL). The ether layer was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography (SiO2; gradient from hexane to 10% EtOAc/hex) to yield (4S)-4-(1(R)-hydroxyethyl)-3-isobutyl-2-(2-methyl-4-nitrophenylimino)-1,3-thiazolidine (0.13 g, 90%): TLC (25% EtOAc/hex) Rf0.13.
