The intermediate (S)-1-(4-isopropylphenyl)ethylamine (VII) was prepared as shown in Scheme 1. Condensation of (4-isopropylphenyl)acetyl chloride (I) with the lithium salt of (S)-4-isopropyl-2-oxazolidinone (II) produced the chiral N-acyl oxazolidinone (III). Diastereoselective alkylation of (III) with MeI in the presence of lithium hexamethyldisilazide provided (IV). Removal of the chiral auxiliary of (IV) was accomplished by treatment with lithium hydroperoxide to afford the (S)-arylpropionic acid (V). Subsequent Curtius rearrangement of (V) using diphenyl phosphoryl azide, followed by treatment of the intermediate isocyanate with benzyl alcohol, furnished the benzyl carbamate (VI). Then, catalytic hydrogenation of (VI) over Pd/C yielded the target amine (VII).
