Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (R)-4-benzyl-3-((1S,2S,3S,5S)-2-hydroxybicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-3-carbonyl)oxazolidin-2-one (25 g, 83 mmol) and 2,6-lutidine (38.2 mL, 332 mmol) in dichloromethane (300 mL) was added tert-butyldimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (47.6 mL, 207.5 mmol) at 0° C. under nitrogen. The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes and then room temperature for 1 hour. After diluted with methanol (25 mL), the mixture was poured into water and extracted with ether (2×400 mL). The combined ether extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:petroleum ether=1:8) to afford the title compound (29 g, 86%) as a colorless oil. MS (ES+) C23H33NO4Si requires: 415, found: 416 [M+H−H2O]+.
