Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (S)-2,2-dimethyl-4-phenylaminomethyl-oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (650 mg) at r.t. in 1,2-dichloroethane (15 ml) under an argon atmosphere were added 2-methoxypropene (0.30 ml), trifluoroacetic acid (0.16 ml) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (674 mg). The mixture was heated to 40° C. overnight. The mixture was cooled to r.t., directly adsorbed on silica gel and purified by chromatography (SiO2; gradient:cyclohexane->cyclohexane/EtOAc 7:3) to give (S)-4-[(isopropyl-phenyl-amino)-methyl]-2,2-dimethyl-oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (659 mg, 89%) as light yellow viscous oil. MS (ISP): 349.5 ([M+H]+)
