Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4R)-3-[3-(3,4-difluorophenyl)propanoyl]-4-(phenylmethyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one (1 g, 2.90 mmol) in dichloromethane (29.0 ml) at −60° C. was added TiCl4 (0.335 ml, 3.04 mmol) dropwise. After 30 min, DIPEA (0.556 ml, 3.19 mmol) was added and the solution stirred at 1 h at 0° C. phenylmethyl [(methyloxy)methyl]carbamate (1.131 g, 5.79 mmol)[prepared according to Barnett, C. J. et al, Tetrahedron Lett. 1997, 38, 5, 735.] was added and the reaction mixture stirred at 0° C. for 4 h. The solution was quenched with aqueous saturated ammonium chloride solution and extracted several times with DCM. The combined organic fractions were dried over Na2SO4, concentrated and purified by column chromatography (0-50% EtOAc in hexanes) affording phenylmethyl {(2S)-2-[(3,4-difluorophenyl)methyl]-3-oxo-3-[(4R)-2-oxo-4-(phenylmethyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-3-yl]propyl}carbamate (548 mg, 0.506 mmol, 17.49% yield) as a clear oil:
