Reaction Steps

A mixture of (R) and (S)-methyl-3-(5′-fluoro-2,2-dimethyl-2′-oxospiro[cyclopropane-1,3′-indoline]-1′-yl)-5-(2-oxooxazolidin-3-yl)benzoate (850 mg, 2.4 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) and 30% sodium hydroxide in water (5 mL) was stirred at 25° C. for 16 hours. The mixture was neutralized with a 2N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution, diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL), washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated in vacuo. Purification by waters automated flash system (column: Xterra 30 mm×100 mm, sample manager 2767, pump 2525, detector: ZQ mass and UV 2487, solvent system: acetonitrile and 0.1% trifluoro-acetic acid in water) afforded the title compound (410 mg, 50%) as a white solid: LC/MS m/e calcd. for C20H18FNO3: 340, observed (M+H)+: 340.; 1H NMR (400 MHz, MeOD) δppm 1.50 (s, 3 H) 1.57 (s, 3 H) 1.86 (d, J=4.29 Hz, 1 H) 1.93 (d, J=4.55 Hz, 1 H) 4.22 (t, J=7.96 Hz, 2 H) 4.56 (t, J=7.96 Hz, 2 H) 6.86-6.94 (m, 1 H) 6.94-7.02 (m, 1 H) 7.06 (d, J=8.59 Hz, 1 H) 7.84 (s, 1 H) 8.03 (br. s., 1 H) 8.25 (br. s., 1 H).
