Hydrogen Peroxide → (1R)-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-hydroxy-1-(4,5-diphenyloxazol-2-yl)butylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4R)-4-(4,5-diphenyloxazol-2-yl)-4-benzyloxycarbonylamino-1-butene (5.2 g) in THF (50 ml) was added 9-borabicyclo(3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) (98 ml, 0.5M solution of THF) at 0° C. After stirred for 4 hours at room temperature, 2N NaOH solution (20 ml) and 35% H2O2 solution (20 ml) were added to the mixture at the 0° C. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at the same 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 chromatogaphy on silica gel to give (1R)-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-hydroxy-1-(4,5-diphenyloxazol-2-yl)butylamine (13 g).
