Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-hydroxy-1-indanone (500 mg, 3.37 mmol), cesium carbonate (2.0 g, 6.14 mmol) and 5-chloromethyl-2-oxazolidinone (503 mg, 3.71 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) was stirred under nitrogen in a heavy walled process vial in a microwave synthesizer at about 200° C. for about 5 minutes. The reaction mixture was cooled, concentrated under vacuum and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel using dichloromethane/methanol (50:1) as the mobile phase to provide the desired product. MS (ESI): m/z 248 (M+H)+.
