Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 23 mg, 0.58 mmol, 1.2 equiv) was added to a solution of methyl 2,6-dichloropyrimidine-4-carboxylate (100 mg, 0.483 mmol) and (R)-4-((R)-1-(tert-butoxy)ethyl)oxazolidin-2-one (90 mg, 0.483 mmol, 1 equiv) in DMF (2.4 mL) at 0° C. The suspension was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour, by which time it turned yellow. The reaction was quenched with dilute aqueous sodium chloride (20 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 mL). The combined extracts were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/Heptane) separated the regioisomers and provided methyl 6-((R)-4-((R)-1-(tert-butoxy)ethyl)-2-oxooxazolidin-3-yl)-2-chloropyrimidine-4-carboxylate (0.111 g, white solid) in 64% yield. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.79 (s, 1H), 4.76 (m, 1H), 4.69 (dd, J=9.4, 2.7 Hz, 1H), 4.52-4.41 (m, 2H), 4.02 (s, 3H), 1.26 (s, 9H), 1.05 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 3H).
