Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (81 mg, 1.80 mmol) was added to a solution of N-(4-bromo-3-methyl-phenyl)-2-hydroxy-acetamide (200 mg, 0.819 mmol) in DMF (4.0 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 50 minutes. Further, dibromomethane (0.114 ml, 1.64 mmol) was added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was heated with stirring at 110° C. for two hours. Cooling to room temperature and subsequent purification by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate) gave 3-(4-bromo-3-methyl-phenyl)-oxazolidin-4-one (45 mg, 21%).
