Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (S)-N-{3-[4-(4-hydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl-piperidin-1-yl)-phenyl]-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethyl}-acetamide (0.209 mmol), paraformaldehyde (0.233 mmol), p-toluene sulfonic acid (0.248 mmol), 4° A molecular sieves (0.160 g) in benzene (20 ml) was heated at reflux for 2 to 3 hours under stirring. The solvent was removed under vacuum to provide a residue. The residue was extracted with ethyl acetate water mixture. The combined organic layer was dried and concentrated to afford a crude product. The silica gel column chromatography afforded title compound in 57% yield.
