Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (R)-4-((R)-1-tert-butoxyethyl)oxazolidin-2-one (0.100 g, 0.534 mmol) and 4-chloro-6-(difluoromethyl)-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine (0.124 g, 0.587 mmol, 1.10 equiv) in DMF (2.7 mL) was treated with NaH (60%, 0.026 g, 0.64 mmol, 1.20 equiv), then the resulting mixture (yellow) was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (20 mL), washed with saturated aqueous NaCl (2×20 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/Heptane 0 to 40%) provided (R)-4-((R)-1-tert-butoxyethyl)-3-(6-(difluoromethyl)-2-(methylthio)pyrimidin-4-yl)oxazolidin-2-one (0.164 g, white solid) in 85% yield. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.15 (s, 1H), 6.45 (t, J=54 Hz, 1H), 4.80-4.72 (m, 1H), 4.66 (dd, J=9.4, 3.0 Hz, 1H), 4.49-4.34 (m, 2H), 2.58 (s, 3H), 1.25 (s, 9H), 1.02 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 3H); MS m/z 362.3 (M+H)+; Rt-1.09 min.
