Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (23 mg, 0.56 mmol) was added to a solution of 3-(2-chloro-4-nitroimidazol-1-yl)-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl 4-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate prepared in Example 83 (0.24 g, 0.47 mmol) in DMF (2 ml) followed by stirring at 0° C. for 1 hour. Ice-water was added to the reaction mixture, and the resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate) and then washed with diisopropyl ether to afford 2-methyl-6-nitro-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]oxazol-2-ylmethyl 4-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (0.13 g, yield 58%) as a white solid.
