Sodium hydride → (R)-4-((R)-1-(tert-butoxy)ethyl)-3-(2,6-dichloropyrimidin-4-yl)oxazolidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (R)-4-((R)-1-tert-butoxyethyl)oxazolidin-2-one (0.830 g, 4.43 mmol) and 2,4,6-trichloropyrimidine (0.894 g, 4.88 mmol, 1.10 equiv) in DMF (15 mL) was treated with NaH (60%, 0.248 g, 6.21 mmol, 1.40 equiv), then the resulting mixture (yellow) was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (100 mL) and quenched with saturated aqueous NaCl (100 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×30 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/Heptane 0 to 40%) provided (R)-4-((R)-1-tert-butoxyethyl)-3-(2,6-dichloropyrimidin-4-yl)oxazolidin-2-one (1.0 g, white solid) in 69% yield. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.22 (s, 1H), 4.70-4.66 (m, 2H), 4.45-4.40 (m, 2H), 1.26 (s, 9H), 1.04 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 3H); MS m/z 334.0 (M+H)+; Rt-1.10 min.
