Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

At 0° C., methanesulfonyl chloride (1.79 g, 15.64 mmol) is added to a solution of (5R)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-3-[4-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one (3.6 g, 13.0 mmol) and triethylamine (2.9 g, 28.7 mmol) in dichloromethane (160 ml). The reaction mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 hours and at room temperature for 3 hours and then washed with water, and the aqueous phase is reextracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases are dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue (1.67 g) is then dissolved in acetonitrile (70 ml), phthalimide potassium (2.62 g, 14.16 mmol) is added and the mixture is stirred in a closed vessel in a microwave oven at 180° C. for 45 min. Insoluble residue is removed from the mixture by filtration, the filtrate is evaporated under reduced pressure, the residue (1.9 g) is dissolved in methanol and hydrazine hydrate (0.47 g, 9.37 mmol) is added. The reaction mixture is heated under reflux for 2 hours and cooled, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution is added and the mixture is extracted six times with methylene chloride (2 1 in total). The combined organic phases are dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure.
