Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4S,5R)-5-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-(2-bromo-5-nitrobenzyl)-4-methyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one (950 mg, 1.80 mmol) in a toluene (5.2 mL): ethanol (2.6 mL): water (1.3 mL) mixture was added (2-chloro-5-isopropylphenyl) boronic acid (325 mg, 1.64 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (188 mg, 10 mol %) and sodium carbonate (346 mg, 3.26 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated in an 80° C. oil bath for 12 h. The reaction crude was evaporated into dryness. The resulting residue was taken up by a mixture of water and EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product, which was purified by SiO2 (Biotage 40+S cartridge, EtOAc/hexane, gradient) to afford the titled compound.
