Reaction Steps

Step J (1): (4S,5S)-4-(3,5-difluorobenzyl)-5-((2R,4R)-4-(allyloxy)-1-benzhydrylpyrrolidin-2-yl)oxazolidin-2-one. A mixture of (4S,5R)-4-(3,5-difluorobenzyl)-5-((2R,4R)-4-(allyloxy)pyrrolidin-2-yl)oxazolidin-2-one (Step C (8), 2.03 g, 6.0 mmol), benzylhydryl bromide (2.22 g, 9.0 mmol), and potassium carbonate (1.24 g, 9.0 mmol) in acetonitrile (40 mL) was stirred at reflux for 35 min. After cooling to rt, the mixture was filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude mixture was purified by Flash Chromatography (silica gel, 0-7.5% methanol/chloroform) to give a slightly yellow oil as the title compound (2.64 g, 87% yield): 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 1.95-2.23 (2H, m), 2.36 (1H, t, J=12 Hz), 2.70 (1H, m), 3.02 (2H, d, J=6 Hz), 3.48 (1H, m), 3.71-3.99 (4H, m), 4.70 (1H, s), 4.78 (1H, t, J=6 Hz), 4.93 (1H, s), 5.12 (1H, m), 5.22 (1H, dd, J=3, 18 Hz), 5.84 (1H, m), 6.49 (1H, d, J=6 Hz), 6.67 (1H, m), 7.20-7.39 (11H, m).
