Reaction Steps

A mixture of (R)-4-((S)-6-(trans-4-tert-butylcyclohexyloxy)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)-4-methyloxazolidin-2-one (100 mg, 0.000259 mol), N-iodosuccinimide (65.4 mg, 0.000290 mol) and zirconium tetrachloride (9.1 mg, 0.000039 mol) in methylene chloride (2.13 mL, 0.0332 mol) was stirred at rt under Ar in a vial for 3 h. The precipitate was filtered off and the residue was purified with silica gel chromatography eluted is with EtOAc/hexane (0 to 40%) to give (R)-4-((S)-6-(trans-4-tert-butylcyclohexyloxy)-5-iodo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)-4-methyloxazolidin-2-one as a solid (130 mg, 98%). 1H NMR shows 1.6:1 mixture of 5-iodo and 7-iodo isomers. LCMS: Rf=2.40 min 512.39 ([M-1-1], 30%).
