Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

461 g of sodium hydrogencarbonate and 350 g of (2S)-3-aminopropane-1,2-diol hydrochloride (VII) (commercially available) are initially charged at from 13 to 15° C. in 2.1 l of water and admixed with 950 ml of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran. 535.3 g of 5-chlorothiophene-2-carbonyl chloride (approx. 93%) in 180 ml of toluene are added dropwise to this mixture with cooling at from 15 to 18° C. over a period of two hours. For workup, the phases are separated and the organic phase is admixed in several steps with a total of 1.5 l of toluene. The precipitated product is filtered off with suction, washed with ethyl acetate and dried.
