Reaction Steps

A mixture of (R)-2-chloro-1-(2-methyloxiran-2-ylmethyl)-4-nitroimidazole prepared in Example 12 (4.24 g, 19.48 mmol) and 3-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-propenyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (6.73 g, 21.41 mmol) in DMF (21 ml) were stirred at 50-55° C. for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to return to room temperature and poured into water (90 ml), and extracted with ethyl acetate (60 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (60 ml) again. The organic phases were combined, washed with water (90 ml) 3 times and a saturated saline solution (60 ml), dried over sodium sulfate and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/n-hexane=1/1) to afford 3-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-propenyl (S)-4-[3-(2-chloro-4-nitroimidazol-1-yl)-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate (9.29 g, yield 90%) as a yellow oil.
