Reaction Steps

First, 2-[3-(4-benzo[b]thiophen-4-yl-piperazin-1-yl)propoxy]-3-methoxy-5-(2-oxo-oxazolidin-3-yl)benzaldehyde hydrochloride (1.28 g. 2.4 mmol)) was added to an aqueous potassium hydrochloride solution. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The extracted solution was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in THF (15 ml). To the solution, sodium borohydride (0.05 g, 1.2 mmol) was added under ice cooling and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. Then, 10% hydrochloric acid was added to the mixture under ice cooling to decompose the reagent excessively present. After an aqueous 6N sodium hydroxide solution was added to the solution to make it an alkaline solution, which was then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and thereafter concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (dichloromethane:ethyl acetate=3:7→dichloromethane:methanol=100:3). The purified product was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in ethanol. A 1N hydrochloric acid/ethanol solution was added to this. The crystal produced was recrystallized from ethanol to obtain 3-{4-[3-(4-benzo[b]thiophen-4-yl-piperazin-1-yl)-propoxy]-3-hydroxymethyl-5-methoxy-phenyl}oxazolidin-2-one hydrochloride (0.52 g, 41% yield) as white powder.
