Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% dispersion in oil 1.26 g) was added to a stirred, cooled (ice-bath) solution of (5R)-5-(2,2-dimethyl-4H-1,3-benzodioxin-6-yl)-2-oxazolidinone (5.47 g) in dry DMF (50 ml) under nitrogen and the mixture was stirred for 15 min at 50° C. A solution of 6-bromohexyl 4-(3-iodophenyl)butyl ether (10.7 g) in DMF (30 ml) was then added dropwise over 10 min. The mixture was stirred for 2 h at ambient temperature, then poured into aqueous solution of ammonium chloride and extracted into ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with water, dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated. The residue was purified on biotage (90 g cartridge) eluting with ether-hexane (3:2) to give the title compound (9.8 g). LCMS RT=4.20 min.
