Reaction Steps

(5R)-3-[3-Fluoro-4-(3-methyl-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)phenyl]-5-(hydroxymethyl)oxazolidin-2-one (Intermediate 25) (10.08 g, 34.5 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 ml) and triethylamine (6.0 ml, 43 mmol) was cooled to 0° C. and methanesulfonyl chloride (3.2 ml, 41 mmol) was added by syringe. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature overnight. More pyridine (50 ml) was added and the reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. before adding additional methanesulfonyl chloride (3.2 ml, 41 mmol). The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and the solid was collected by filtration and washed with ethyl acetate to afford the crude title compound (5.49 g).
