Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-(+)-3-methyl-1-(2-nitrophenyl)-4-(3-aminopropyl)-piperazine (35 mg, 0.126 mmol) in 10 mL of THF, 4-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-2-oxo-oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid-4-nitro-phenyl ester (50 mg, 0.137 mmol) was added and the resulting yellow solution was stirred under argon atmosphere for 2 h at room temperature. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel with 1:1 hexane/EtOAc followed by MeOH:EtOAc=1:9 (Rf=0.58, MeOH:EtOAc=1:3 ) to obtain 4-(3,4-Difluoro-phenyl)-2-oxo-oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid {3-[2-methyl-4-(2-nitro-phenyl)-piperazin-1-yl)-propyl)-amide (55 mg, 87%). The compound was dissolved in CH2cl2 (3 mL) and was treated with 1N HCl in ether (1 mL). The solvent was removed in vacuo to give the corresponding hydrochloride salt as a pale yellow solid. M.P. 115-119° C.; [α]D=+38.3, (c=0.22, CH2Cl2); Anal. Calcd. For C24H28N5O5F2Cl.0.72 C6H12: C, 56.50; H, 6.38; N, 11.63. Found: C, 56.63; H, 6.35; N, 10.08.
