Triethylamine → (R)-4-((R)-1-fluoroethyl)-3-(2-fluoropyrimidin-4-yl)oxazolidin-2-one

To a round bottom flask containing a solution of (R)-3-(2-fluoropyrimidin-4-yl)-4-((S)-1-hydroxyethyl)oxazolidin-2-one (348 mg, 1.53 mmol) in THF (5.1 mL) was added perfluorobutanesulfonyl fluoride (0.83 mL, 4.60 mmol) followed by the addition of triethylamine trihydrofluoride (0.75 mL, 4.60 mmol) and triethylamine (1.9 mL, 13.8 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture allowed to stir at room temperature for 6 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and the aqueous mixture was extracted with EtOAc. Organic phases combined, washed with water, brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated onto silica gel. Silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/Heptane 0 to 60%) provided a viscous oil of (R)-4-((R)-1-fluoroethyl)-3-(2-fluoropyrimidin-4-yl)oxazolidin-2-one (125 mg, 0.44 mmol, 28% yield) which crystallizes upon standing. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.34 (dd, J=24.26, 6.65 Hz, 3H) 4.45-4.55 (m, 1H) 4.61-4.68 (m, 1H) 5.11 (dt, J=7.63, 4.01 Hz, 1H) 5.30-5.52 (m, 1H) 8.13-8.17 (m, 1H) 8.52 (d, J=5.87 Hz, 1H). LCMS m/z 230.0 (M+H)+, Rt 0.66 min.
