Triethylamine → (4R)-4-Methyl-4-[2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

The obtained (2R)-2-amino-2-methyl-4-(1-methylpyrrol-2-yl)butan-1-ol 1/2 D-(−)-tartrate (41.4 mg, 0.16 mmol) was suspended in methylene chloride (1.6 mL) and di-t-butyl dicarbonate (0.176 g, 0.810 mmol), triethylamine (0.225 mL, 1.62 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (2.0 mg, 0.016 mmol) were added thereto, followed by stirring of the mixture at room temperature for 30 minutes. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate 3:2-2:1) to obtain (4R)-4-methyl-4-[2-(1-methylpyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one (17.7 mg, yield: 53%).
