Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(S)-benzyloxazolidin-2-one (56 mmol) (Aldrich, Milwaukee, Wis.) in THF at −78° C. is added 2.5 M n-BuLi in hexane (22.4 mL, 56 mmol) and the reaction is stirred at −78° C. for 2 hours. To this is added via cannula a −78° C. solution of acid chloride A-1 (R=hexanoyl, 65 mmol) in THF and the mixture is stirred at −78° C. for 2 hours, then allowed to warm to rt and stirred overnight. The reaction is then quenched with aqueous saturated NH4Cl, extracted with EtOAc, dried and purified by silica gel chromatography (hexanes/EtOAc) to afford N-hexanoyl-4-(S)-benzyloxazolidin-2-one (A-2).
