Procedure

To a solution of (2S)-2-(4,5-diphenyloxazol-2-yl)oxirane (12 g) and CuI (0.19 g) in THF (240 ml) was dropwise added a solution of vinylmagnesium chloride in THF (1.0M solution, 101 ml) at −78° C. under N2. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with 1N-HCl, water, sat. NaHCO3 and brine. The dried solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel to give (4S)-4-(4,5-diphenyloxazol-2-yl)-4-hydroxy-1-butene (9.2 g).
