Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-2,2-dimethyl-4-(6-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-2-ylethynyl)-oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.58 g, 1.56 mmol) in methanol (8 ml) were added ammonium formate (0.983 g, 15.6 mmol) and palladium on charcoal (10% Pd, 0.58 g). The mixture was refluxed for 1 hour. After cooling the solid was filtered off, the filtrate was evaporated and the residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, heptane/EtOAc=7:3 to yield a light colourless liquid, (0.538 g, 92%); MS (ISP): 375.5 ((M+H)+/).
