Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under argon atmosphere, in 3 ml of methylene chloride was dissolved 141 mg (0.5 mmol) of 3-diphenylmethyl-5-methoxy-2(3H)oxazolone, and after cooling the solution to −78° C., 53.1 mg (0.5 mmol) of benzaldehyde and 0.05 ml (0.05 mmol) of a methylene chloride solution containing 1.0 M-trimethylsilyl triflate were added to the solution and the mixture was reacted under stirring for one hour. After the temperature of the mixture was raised up to 0° C., 15 ml of a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution was added to the resulting reaction mixture and the mixture was extracted with 20 ml of methylene chloride. The organic layer was washed with 15 ml of a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 184 mg (0.476 mmol) of 3-diphenylmethyl-4-methoxycarbonyl-5-phenyl-2-oxzolidinone as white crystal. (Yield based on 3-diphenylmethyl-5-methoxy-2(3H)oxazolone: 95%.) According to HPLC analysis, a formation ratio of cis/trans-isomers of the formed product was 5/95.
