(5R)-3-[4-(1,1-Dioxo-3,6-dihydro-2H-thiopyran-4-yl)-3,5-difluorophenyl]-5-(hydroxymethyl)-oxazolidin-2-one (WO 01/81350 A1) (0.50 g, 1.39 mmol), triphenylphosphine (0.55 g, 2.1 mmol), and 5-methyl-1H-tetrazole (0.18 g, 2.14 mmol) were dissolved in dry tetrahydrofuran (5 ml), and cooled on an ice-water bath. Diisopropylazodicarboxylate (0.41 ml, 2.58 mmol) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 4 hours. Methanol (3 ml) was added, followed by evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure and purification by flash column chromatography on silica gel with 10% acetonitrile in dichloromethane. The material obtained after chromatography was precipitated from dichloromethane with diethyl ether to give the title compound (0.335 g).
