Sodium hydride → HCID 11614237, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 0° C. solution of 30 mg of trans-5-[5′-isopropyl-2′-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-2-yl]-4-methyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one in 1 mL of DMF was added 8 mg of sodium hydride. The mixture was stirred 10 min at room temperature, and then 32 mg of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl bromide was added. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature, then diluted with 10 mL of EtOAc and 10 mL of water. The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with 5 mL of EtOAC. The combined organics were washed with 5 mL of brine, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on a Biotage Horizon, 25S column, eluting with 1 CV of 4% EtOAc in hexanes, followed by a linear gradient of EtOAc in hexanes from 4 to 100% over 10 CV to provide the title compound. Mass spectrum (ESI) 620.2 (M+1). 1H NMR signals are doubled because of atropoisomerism. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.53-7.80 (m, 5H), 7.33 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.21-7.29 (m, 1H), 7.00, 6.76 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 6.91, 6.86 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 0.4H), 5.15, 5.10 (d, J=4.5 Hz, 1H), 4.80, 4.74 (d, J=16 Hz, 1H), 4.25, 4.21 (d, 16 Hz, 1H), 3.76 (s, 2H), 3.49 (s, 1H), 3.43 (m, 0.4H), 3.18 (m, 0.5H), 2.77-2.98 (m, 1H), 1.24 (m, 3H), 1.16 (m, 3H), 0.78, 0.61 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 3H).
