Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,4-difluoropyrimidine (3.5 mL, 41 mmol) and (S)-4-isopropyloxazolidin-2-one (5.3 g 41 mmol) in 30 mL DMF was cooled to 0° C. under N2 atmosphere. NaH (2.1 g of 60% suspension, 53 mmol) was slowly added. Bubbling exotherm observed. Internal temp was kept below 5° C. After 5 minutes, cold bath was removed. Reaction mixture (a sandy suspension) was allowed to warm to room temp and stir 18 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (100 mL) and extracted with (3×75 mL) EtOAc. Organic layer was washed with 50 mL each water, and brine. Dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated on silica gel in vacuo. Column chromatography (EtOAc/heptane 10 to 100% gradient) gave 3.1 g (S)-3-(2-fluoropyrimidin-4-yl)-4-isopropyloxazolidin-2-one (IV) as a crystalline white solid (33%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.50 (dd, J=5.8, 2.2 Hz, 1H), 8.19 (dd, J=5.8, 3.8 Hz, 1H), 4.79 (dt, J=8.1, 3.5 Hz, 1H), 4.48-4.34 (m, 2H), 2.64 (heptd, J=7.0, 3.6 Hz, 1H), 1.01 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 3H), 0.90 (d, J=6.9 Hz, 3H). MS m/z 471.8 and 471.8 (M+H)+.
