Reaction Steps

A slurry of (±)-N-[[3-[4-(4-methoxy-5-oxo-1,3,6-cycloheptatrien-1-yl)phenyl]-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl]acetamide (0.100 g, 0.27 mmol) in absolute ethanol (10 mL) was treated with a catalytic quantity of sodium hydride (5 mg of a 60% dispersion in mineral oil). The mixture was heated to reflux under nitrogen, during which time the mixture became a homogeneous solution. After 15 min of reflux the solution was cooled to ambient temperature and a solid precipitate noted. The reaction mixture was diluted with diethyl ether and the solids collected by filtration. After drying in vacuo, 0.088 g (85%) of the title compound was obtained as a light yellow solid with the following characteristics:
