Reaction Steps

TiCl4 in toluene (3.52 mL, 3.52 mmol) was added to a solution of (R)-4-benzyl-3-(2-(4-bromophenyl)acetyl)oxazolidin-2-one (1.26 g, 3.35 mmol) in DCM (30 mL) at −78° C. DIEA (0.64 mL, 3.69 mmol) was then added to the cold stirring solution. The reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 15 minutes, followed by the addition of a solution of tert-butyl 5-methoxy-2,2-dimethylpyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (1.00 g, 4.36 mmol, see Example F) in DCM (10 mL). The reaction was then warmed to −10° C. and stirred for 2 hours. The reaction was quenched with a saturated NH4Cl solution (20 mL), and the organic fraction was isolated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography to give (S)-tert-butyl 5-((R)-2-((R)-4-benzyl-2-oxooxazolidin-3-yl)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-2-oxoethyl)-2,2-dimethylpyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (1.63 g, 85%) as a solid.
