Reaction Steps

A solution of phenylmethyl 6-[(5S)-5-(aminomethyl)-2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl]-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-isoquinolinecarboxylate (Step 4, 1.75 g, 4.59 mmol) and pyridine (1.11 mL, 13.77 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (23 mL) under N2 is treated with acetic anhydride (0.649 mL, 6.88 mmol), and the mixture is stirred at ambient temperature for 3.5 hrs. The mixture is then washed with H2O (2×15 mL) and brine (10 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product is chromatographed on a Flash 40S silica gel (40 g, 32-63 μm) cartridge, eluting with a gradient of MeOH/CH2Cl2 (0.5/99.5-2/98), and those fractions with an Rf=0.25 by TLC (MeOH/CHCl3, 5/95) are pooled and concentrated to give 1.81 g (93%) of the title compound as an amorphous, white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.35 (m, 7H), 7.11 (m, 1H), 6.11 (m, 1H), 5.19 (s, 2H), 4.78 (m, 1H), 4.62 (s, 2H), 4.05 (t, 1H), 3.78 (dd, 1H), 3.70 (m, 3H), 3.60 (m, 1H), 2.86 (m, 2H), 2.02 (s, 3H); MS (ESI+) for C23H25N3O5 m/z 424 (M+H)+; [α]25D=−17° (c 0 77, DMSO).
