Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 57667108, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (S)-2,2-dimethyl-4-phenylaminomethyl-oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (495 mg; example 2.a) at r.t. in 1,2-dichloroethane (10 ml) under an argon atmosphere were added benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal (0.37 ml), trifluoroacetic acid (0.13 ml) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (571 mg). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was directly adsorbed on silica gel and purified by chromatography (SiO2; gradient:heptane->heptane/EtOAc 7:3) to give (S)-4-[(benzyl-phenyl-amino)-methyl]-2,2-dimethyl-oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (492 mg, 77%) as a colourless viscous oil. MS (ISP): 397.4 ([M+H]+)
