Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5.50 g (0.017 mol) of the oxazolidinone in 40 mL of THF, cooled to -78° C., was added 17.3 mL (0.035 mol) of a 2.0M solution of lithium diisopropylamide in heptane/THF/benzene. The resulting mixture was stirred at -78° C. for 1 h and then neat allyl bromide (7.5 mL, 0.087 mol) was added to the reaction mixture. The reaction was allowed to warm to 0 degrees (ice bath) and stirred for an additional 3 h and then quenched with 5% HCl solution. The resulting mixture was extracted with ether and the combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate/hexanes (1:10) to provide 5.0 g (81%) of the desired alkylated product as a colorless oil. Electrospray Mass Spec: 358.2 (M+H)+.
