Reaction Steps

In a flame dried round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and under inert atmosphere (N2), a solution of 4-(((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)methyl)oxazole-2-carbaldehyde (268 mg, 1.11 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (9.2 mL) was treated dropwise at 0° C. with trimethylaluminium (1.11 mL of a 2.0 M solution in toluene, 2.22 mmol) and the resulting yellow solution was stirred for 45 min at 0° C. Sat. aq. NH4Cl was added to the reaction mixture which was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×25 mL) and the combined org. layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by FC (1:1 hept-EA) gave the title compound as a yellow oil: TLC: rf (1:1 hept-EA)=0.40. LC-MS-conditions 07: tR=0.85 min, [M]+=257.81.
