Procedure

A mixture of (S)-2-Azido-1-(3-chlorophenyl)-ethanol (5.14 g, 0.026 mol), NaBH4 (1.97 g, 0.052 mol) and isopropyl alcohol (100 mL) was stirred at 80° C. for 24 h. The solvent was evaporated, the residue was separated on SiO2 (15 g) CHCl3-MeOH (0 to 30%). Colorless oil, 3.70 g (0.021 mol, 83%). The material was reacted with Boc2O in dichloromethane and NEt3 and analyzed by chiral SFC using a CHIRALPAK AD-H column, 30% MeOH and determined to be 91% ee.
