(5R)-3-(4-(1,2,5,6-Tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)-3-fluorophenyl)-5-(1,2,3-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-oxazolidin-2-one hydrochloride (380 mg, 1 mM) was dissolved in water (5 ml), which was then diluted with acetone (10 ml), and solid sodium bicarbonate (0.84 g, 10 mM) added. The mixture was stirred and cooled to 0° C., and isopropylsulfonyl chloride (285 mg, 2 mM) added dropwise. After stirring for 5 hours, an equal portion of sulfonyl chloride was added, and stirring continued for 18 hours. Most acetone was removed by evaporation, the residue diluted with water (50 ml), and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 ml). The extracts were washed with brine and dried (magnesium sulfate). The residual oil after evaporation was purified by chromatography on a 10 g silica Mega Bond Elut® column, eluting with a gradient increasing in polarity from 0 to 5% methanol in dichloromethane. Relevant fractions were combined and evaporated to give the desired product (205 mg).
