p-Toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate → (S)-tert-butyl 1-hydroxybut-3-en-2-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl (4S)-2,2-dimethyl-4-vinyl-1,3-oxazolidine-3-carboxylate (1.90 g, 8.36 mmol) in methanol (83 mL) was added p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (0.80 g, 4.2 mmol) at 0° C. The mixture was slowly warmed to room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with saturated NaHCO3 solution, concentrated, and then diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with sat. NaHCO3 (2×) and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give the desired product as colorless oil (1.187 g, 76%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 5.81 (1H, m), 5.25 (2H, m), 4.90 (1H, m), 4.25 (1H, br s), 3.67 (2H, m), 1.45 (9H, s) ppm.
