Procedure: A solution of amine 102 (39.2 g, 160.0 mmol) in anhydrous THF (300 mL) was cooled to −78° C. in a dry-ice/acetone bath before a solution of n-butyl lithium (n-BuLi, 2.5 M solution in hexane, 70.4 mL, 176 mmol, 1.1 equiv) was dropwise added under N2. The resulting reaction mixture was subsequently stirred at −78° C. for 1 h before a solution of (R)-(−)-glycidyl butyrate (25.37 g, 24.6 mL, 176 mmol, 1.1 equiv) in anhydrous THF (100 mL) was dropwise added into the reaction mixture at −78° C. under N2. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 30 min before being gradually warmed to room temperature for 12 h under N2. When TLC and HPLC/MS showed the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was quenched with H2O (200 mL), and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h before EtOAc (200 mL) was added. The two layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×100 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with H2O (2×100 mL) and saturated aqueous NaCl (100 mL), dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo. White crystals precipitated from the concentrated solution when most of the solvent was evaporated. The residue was then treated with 20% EtOAc/hexane (100 mL) and the resulting slurry was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The solids were collected by filtration and washed with 20% EtOAc/hexane (2×50 mL) to afford the desired (5R)-(3-(3-fluoro-phenyl)-5-hydroxymethyl-oxazolidin-2-one 103 (24.4 g, 72.3% yield) as white crystals.
