Diethylamine → (4S,5R)-5-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-[3-(4-fluoro-5-isopropyl-2-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-yn-1-yl]-4-methyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (4S,5R)-5-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4-methyl-3-prop-2-yn-1-yl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one (100 mg, 0.285 mmol), 1-bromo-4-fluoro-5-isopropyl-2-methoxybenzene (27.4 wt % in toluene, 233 mg, 0.259 mmol), bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium dichloride (18.2 mg, 0.0259 mmol), copper (I) iodide (4.9 mg, 0.0259 mmol), triphenylphosphine (13.6 mg, 0.0518 mmol), and diethylamine (283 mg, 406 μL, 3.88 mmol) in dry DMF (0.5 mL) was degassed and subjected to microwave irradiation (120° C., 60 min). The reaction mixture was diluted with 0.1N HCl (10 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×20 mL). The combined extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product. This was purified by flash chromatography (Si, 12×160 mm, 0-30% EtOAc in hexanes gradient) to afford (4S,5R)-5-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-[3-(4-fluoro-5-isopropyl-2-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-yn-1-yl]-4-methyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one. Rf=0.38 (20% EtOAc/hexanes).
