Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3.67 gms of (2R,3S) and 2S,3R)-t-butyl 4-bromo-3-hydroxy-2-thioformamido-3-trifluoromethylbutyrate in 65 ml acetone was added 4.15 g powdered anhydrous potassium carbonate. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature, filtered and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The crude brown oil was then purified by chromatography on silica gel using 80:20 hexane:ethyl acetate as the eluting, solvent to give 0.781 gms of white solid, (4R,5S) and (4S,5R)-t-butyl-5-hydroxy-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-6H-1,3-thiazine-4-carboxylate (yield 27%) m.p. 126.5°-127.5° C.
