Water → 5-(S)-aminomethyl-3-[4'-methylsulfinyl-3'-fluorophenyl]oxazolidine-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of triphenylphosphine (0.092 g, 0.352 mmol) and 5-(S)-azidomethyl-3-[4′-methylsulfinyl-3′-fluorophenyl]oxazolidine-2-one (0.100 g, 0.335 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2 ml) was stirred at r.t. for 4 h. Water (0.1 ml, 5.36 mmol) was added, and the mixture heated at 40° C. overnight. Solvent was evaporated under vacuum and the residue purified by PTLC (10% methanol in DCM) to give product as a white solid (0.082 g, 86%). MS (m/z): [M+H]+=273.
