Participants

Reaction Steps

To a round bottom flask containing a solution of (R)-3-(2-fluoropyrimidin-4-yl)-4-((R)-1-hydroxyethyl)oxazolidin-2-one (1.52 g, 6.69 mmol) in THF (22 mL) was added perfluorobutanesulfonyl fluoride (3.6 mL, 20.1 mmol) followed by the addition of triethylamine trihydrofluoride (3.3 mL, 20.1 mmol) and triethylamine (8.4 mL, 60.2 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture allowed to stir at room temperature for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was then diluted with water and the aqueous mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organic phases combined, washed with water, brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated onto silica gel. Silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/Heptane 0 to 60%) provided a white crystalline of (R)-4-((S)-1-fluoroethyl)-3-(2-fluoropyrimidin-4-yl)oxazolidin-2-one (207 mg, 0.90 mmol, 14% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.44 (dd, J=23.48, 6.26 Hz, 3H) 4.47-4.57 (m, 1H) 4.66 (dd, J=8.80, 3.33 Hz, 1H) 4.71-4.86 (m, 1H) 5.22-5.45 (m, 1H) 8.21 (dd, J=5.48, 3.91 Hz, 1H) 8.52 (dd, J=5.48, 1.96 Hz, 1H). LCMS m/z 230.1 (M+H)+, Rt 0.63 min.
