Reaction Steps

To a 15 ml sealable vial was added (4R,5R)-4-(5-ethynyl-2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-5-(3-fluorophenyl)oxazolidin-2-one (20 mg, 0.067 mmol) in triethylamine (2 mL). To this suspension was added 4-bromo-2-fluoropyridine (15.24 mg, 0.087 mmol), triphenylphosphine (5.24 mg, 0.020 mmol) and copper(I) iodide (0.254 mg, 1.332 μmol). The solution was degassed with nitrogen for 20 min, then bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride (0.935 mg, 1.332 μmol) was quickly added and the vial was sealed, heated to 90° C., and allowed to stir overnight. The next day the suspension had turned homogeneous and the reaction was cooled to room temperature and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by silica gel chromotagraphy eluting first with 100% CH2Cl2 then 1% MeOH/99% CH2Cl2 affording (4R,5R)-4-(2-fluoro-5-((2-fluoropyridin-4-yl)ethynyl)pyridin-3-yl)-5-(3-fluorophenyl)oxazolidin-2-one (9.1 mg, 0.021 mmol, 31.4% yield) as a light yellow solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 8.63 (s, 1H), 8.51 (d, J=4.0, 1H), 8.45 (s, 1H), 8.14 (dd, J=8.0, 4.0, 1H), 7.69-7.64 (m, 1H), 7.60-7.54 (m, 1H), 7.50-7.43 (m, 1H), 7.21-7.13 (m, 2H), 6.05 (brs, 1H), 5.39 (d, J=4.0, 1H), 5.04 (d, J=4.0, 1H), LC/Mass spec. (Analytical HPLC method 2): RT=2.01 min. Mass=396.20 (MH)+.
