Procedure

A vial was charged with aminoalcohol A (0.0057 g, 0.024 mmol). To the vial was added 1.52 mL of a stock solution containing freshly distilled isobutyraldehyde (0.22 g), chlorobenzene internal standard (0.22 g), 1 M diethylzinc in hexane (6.0 mL), and toluene (3.0 mL). After 48 h acetic anhydride (0.200 mL) was added. After an additional 72 h a sample of the solution was analyzed by gas chromatography at 70° C. on a Cyclodex B stationary phase. The product 3-acetoxy-2-methylpentane was formed in 92% yield and 98% enantiomeric excess. The identity and yield of the product was established by comparison with an authentic sample prepared by treatment of racemic 2-methyl-3-pentanol with acetic anhydride.
