Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4S,5R)-5-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-[2-butyryl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-4-methyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one (300 mg, 0.554 mmol) in CHCl3 (3 mL) at 0° C. under N2, was added dropwise a solution of bromine (0.030 mL, 0.582 mmol) in CHCl3 (2 mL). The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel to give (4S,5R)-5-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-[2-(2-bromobutanoyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-4-methyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one as a white solid.
