Hydrochloric Acid → (R)-4-Cyclohexyl-oxazolidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-2-Amino-2-cyclohexyl-ethanol.HCl salt (1.0 g, 5.57 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in CH2Cl2 (30.0 mL) at 0° C. was added DIPEA (1.94 mL, 11.1 mmol, 2.0 equiv) followed by triphosgene (4.95 g, 16.7 mmol, 3.0 equiv) and the resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The solution was then concentrated and the residue was diluted with EtOAc. The solution was washed with water, brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography, (EtOAc 100%) to give product 520 mg.
