Reaction Steps

It was prepared according to the literature method (ZHAO Xiao-yu, et al., Improved synthesis of Linezolid, WEST CHINA JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES, 2007, 22(2), 179-181). 36.2 g (0.16 mol) 3-fluoro-4-morpholinylnitrobenzene, 3.2 g 10% Pd/C, 30.4 g (0.49 mol) ammonium formate and 500 ml acetone were added into a 1000 ml four-necked bottle equipped with reflux condenser and dropping funnel, and stirred for 4 hours at 45˜50° C. After the completion of the reaction traced by TLC (developing solvent: ethyl acetate:petroleum ether=1:1), it was cooled to room temperature. After filtering by suction, solvents were evaporated from the filtrate under reduced pressure to obtain crude solid, which was recrystallized from toluene to obtain 28.1 g solid (89.5% yield).
