Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Dissolve (4S,5R)-3-pent-4-enoyl-4,5-diphenyloxazolidin-2-one (1.0 g, 3.1 mmol) in THF (50 mL) and cool the mixture to −78° C. under N2 with stirring. Add dropwise LDA (2.7 mL, 4.0 mmol, 1.5 M in THF) and stir the mixture for 0.5 hours. Then add 2-(bromomethyl)-1-chloro-3-fluorobenzene (1.39 g, 6.22 mmol). Continue to stir the reaction mixture for one hour until TLC shows that the starting material has been consumed. Add water (50 mL) and extract the aqueous with CH2Cl2 (3×250 mL). Combine the organic layers and dry over Na2SO4. Concentrate and purify by chromatography (Silica gel) to afford (4S,5R)-3-((R)-2-(2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzyl)pent-4-enoyl)-4,5-diphenyloxazolidin-2-one (1.44 g, 75.5%).
