Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4R)-4-(benzyloxymethyl)-5-(1-hydroxypropan-2-yl)oxazolidin-2-one (1.0 equiv.) in methanol, at a concentration of 0.1 M, was added 10% palladium on carbon (0.1 eq.). The resultant heterogeneous solution was put under an atmosphere of hydrogen and was stirred for 15 hours. At this time the mixture was filtered through a pad of celite eluting with methanol. The volatiles were removed in vacuo yielding (4R)-4-(hydroxymethyl)-5-(1-hydroxypropan-2-yl)oxazolidin-2-one (99%). LCMS (m/z): 176.1 (MH+).
