Water → 1-Chloro-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)butan-2-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.69 g (3.0 mmol) of (R)-1-chloro-3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)butan-2-one in 5 mL of toluene was cooled to 0° C., and 5.3 mL (3.3 mmol) of a solution of 2,4-difluorophenylmagnesium bromide prepared by the same method as that in Example 3 was added dropwise over a period of 15 minutes. After the completion of the dropwise addition, stirring was continued for another 2 hours, and then 10 mL of a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride was added to stop the reaction. Furthermore, 10 mL of water was added thereto, and extraction was performed with ethyl acetate (20 mL×2). After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentration was performed under reduced pressure to obtain a colorless oil. A quantitative analysis was performed by HPLC (under the same HPLC measurement conditions as those in Example 3). Thereby, the title compound was obtained in a yield of 94% ((2S,3R): (2R,3R)=90:10).
