Triethylamine → (S)-4-[2-((S)-4-hydroxy-6-aza-spiro[2.5]oct-6-yl)-ethyl]-2,2-dimethyl-oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid benzyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-2,2-dimethyl-4-(2-oxo-ethyl)-oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (8.51 g, 30.7 mmol) in dichloromethane (140 mL) were added (S)-6-aza-spiro[2.5]octan-4-ol hydrochloride (intermediate 2; 5.03 g, 30.7 mmol), triethylamine (3.11 g, 30.7 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (9.11 g, 43.0 mmol) at room temperature. After 1 h the reaction mixture was partitioned between sat. aq. sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and dichloromethane. The aqueous layer was extracted twice with dichloromethane, the combined organic phases were dried (MgSO4), filtered, and evaporated to afford the title compound (11.6 g, 97%). Light yellow gum, MS (ISP)=389.3 (M+H)+.
