Reaction Steps

In Scheme 4, aniline (62) and benzyl chloroformate (63) are reacted in the presence of NaHCO3 and acetone:water (2:1) to generate benzyl N-phenylcarbamate (64), which when reacted with Cs2CO3 and (S)-(+)-glycidyl butyrate (65), in DMF solution gives the 5-(hydroxymethyl)-3-phenyloxazolidin-2-one (66), which upon treatment with NaIO4, RuCl3, H2O generates (67).
