Reaction Steps

(5R)-3-(3-Fluoro-4-{4-methyl-3-oxopiperazin-1-yl}phenyl)-5-hydroxymethyloxazolidin-2-one (900 mg) was dissolved in pyridine (20 ml), and cooled to 0° C. Triethylamine (0.5 ml) and methanesulfonyl chloride (0.24 ml) were added, and stirring continued at 5° C. for 2 hours. Solvent was evaporated, and the residue chromatographed on silica, using as eluant a gradient increasing in polarity from 0 to 3% methanol in dichloromethane. Relevant fractions were combined and evaporated to give (5R)-3-(3-fluoro-4-{4-methyl-3-oxopiperazin-1-yl}phenyl)-5-(methanesulfonyloxymethyl)oxazolidin-2-one (990 mg).
