Reaction Steps

10 mL of THF under an atmosphere of nitrogen was cooled to −78° C. in a dry ice-acetone bath and to the stirred solution was added sodium hexamethyldisilazide (9.1 mL of a 1.0 M solution in THF, 9.1 mmol). A solution of (4S)-3-[(3S)-3-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)propanoyl]-4-phenyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one (3.5 g, 8.2 mmol) in 20 mL of THF under nitrogen atmosphere was cooled to −78° C. in a dry ice-acetone bath and added via cannula to the cold sodium hexamethyldisilazide solution. The resulting mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 30 min when trisyl azide (3.3 g, 11 mmol) was added as a solid. The solids dissolved and the cold solution was stirred for 2 min. To the cold solution was added HOAc (2.8 mL, 49 mmol) and solid tetramethylammonium acetate (4.4 g, 33 mmol). The cooling bath was removed and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 4 h. The reaction was diluted with EtOAc and washed with brine. The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc, and the combined EtOAc layers were washed with aqueous Na HCO3 and brine, then dried (MgSO4), filtered, and the solvents were removed in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on a 120 g SiO2 column using a gradient elution of 0-40% EtOAc in hexanes. Fractions containing product were combined and the solvents were removed in vacuo to give a solid.
