Reaction Steps

(S)-1-(2-Chloro-4-nitroimidazol-1-yl)-2-methyl-3-[4-(4-trifluoromethylbenzyloxy)piperidin-1-yl]propan-2-ol prepared in Example 254 (1.36 g, 2.8 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (15 ml). To the solution, sodium hydride (134 mg, 3.36 mmol) was added with cooling on ice-bath followed by stirring at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with a saturated saline solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (methylene chloride/ethyl acetate=10/1) and crystallized from methylene chloride-diisopropyl ether to afford (S)-2-methyl-6-nitro-2-[4-(4-trifluoromethylbenzyloxy)piperidin-1-ylmethyl]-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]oxazole (431 mg, yield 44%) as a white powder.
