Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2,2-Difluoro-1-((4S,5R)-4-fluoromethyl-5-{4-[6-(1-hydroxy-ethyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-phenyl}-2,2-dimethyl-oxazolidin-3-yl)-ethanone (2.2 g, 5.39 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (25 mL) is added triethylamine (1.51 mL, 10.78 mmol) and methane sulfonyl chloride (0.527 mL, 6.47 mmol). Reaction mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes then diluted using saturated bicarbonate solution and extracted with CH2Cl2 (30 mL) Organic layer is dried over sodium sulphate, solvent is evaporated in vacuo and purified by combiflash using 45% ethyl acetate in hexane as an eluent to afford the title compound (1.8 g). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ: 1.53 (s, 3H), 1.60 (s, 3H), 1.68 (d, J=6.56 Hz, 3H), 3.21 (s, 3H), 4.54-4.58 (m, 0.5H), 4.66-4.71 (m, 1H), 4.81-4.84 (m, 0.5H), 4.90-4.95 (m, 1H), 5.27 (d, J=3.92 Hz, 1H), 5.79-5.84 (m, 1H), 6.64 (t, J=52.24, 1H), 7.60-7.63 (m, 3H), 7.81 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H), 8.17-8.20 (dd, J1=8.08 Hz, J2=2.24 Hz, 1H), 8.92 (d, J=2.00 Hz, 1H).
