Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3.28 g (10 mmol) of (4S)-3-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-(2-bromomethyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-5-one (from Example 5) are mixed with 3.39 g (20 mmol) of triethyl phosphite and the mixture is heated under argon for 18 hours at 120° C. The excess triethyl phosphite is distilled off under high vacuum and the residue is purified by chromatography on silica gel (mobile phase: dichloromethane/acetonitrile). 1.34 g (34.8% of theory) of (4S)-3-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-[2-(diethoxyphosphinyl)ethyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-5-one are obtained as a colorless oil.
