Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 0.8 g of the above oxazolidinone, 0.74 g of diethyl dibromomalonate, 1.2 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate and 20 ml of acetone are stirred overnight with the addition of a few drops of diethyl dibromomalonate. The mixture is filtered, washed with acetone and the combined filtrate and wash are evaporated to a yellow oil. The oil is purified by flash chromatography, eluting with 5 percent acetone in toluene. The pure fractions are combined and evaporated, giving 766 mg of (R*,S*)-(±)-5-(2-(5-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl)propyl)-1,3-benzodioxole-2,2-dicarboxylic acid, diethyl ester as a colorless oil.
