Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,1-dimethylethyl(4RS,5SR)-5-(2-fluoropyridin-4-yl)-2-oxo-4-((3-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl)methyl)-1,3-oxazolidine-3-carboxylate (1.30 g, 2.66 mmol) in methanol (7 ml) was added a solution (6.39 ml, 3.19 mmol) of 0.5N sodium hydroxide in methanol, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. To the reaction solution was added water (50 ml), and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (50 ml×2). The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to give the title compound (1.08 g, 88%).
