Reaction Steps

N,N′-Diphenylurea (20.7 g, 98.0 mmol) was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (40 mL), and thereto were added cesium fluoride (1.48 g, 9.80 mmol) and 4-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one (10.0 g, 98.0 mmol), in order. The mixture was stirred for 30 hours at 140° C. under an atmosphere of argon. After filtering off the insoluble materials, the filtrate was condensed in vacuo, and the residue was recrystallized from ethanol to give the subject 3-phenyl-5-methyloxazolidin-2-one (12.9 g, yield 74.3%).
