Procedure

Iodine (42 g), triphenylphosphine (47 g) and imidazole (12 g) were added to a solution of 4-(R)-benzyl-3-(2-(R)-hydroxymethyl-3-methylbutanoyl)oxazolidin-2-one (45 g) in toluene (400 ml) and the mixture was heated to 80° C. for 1 h, then cooled and washed with water and saturated brine. The solvent was dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated and the residue filtered through silica (200 g) eluting with diethyl ether-hexane 1:1 to give the title compound as a yellow viscous oil (56.4 g).
