The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min when it was poured over ethyl acetate (200 mL) and saturated sodium carbonate solution (100 mL). The layers were separated, the organic layer washed with saturated sodium carbonate solution (1×100 mL), dried with magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to provide a pale yellow oil. The material was triturated with 25% ethyl acetate/hexane from dichloromethane to provide (4S,5R)-4-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-2-oxo-oxazolidine-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester. The recovered mother liqour was passed through silica (50% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give an additional 1.1 g (4.8 g total, 18 mmol, 75%)
