Reaction Steps

3-(4-Trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-propenyl (S)-4-[3-(2-chloro-4-nitroimidazol-1-yl)-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-propyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate prepared in Example 391 (13.2 g, 24.81 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (40 ml). To the solution, sodium hydride (1.19 g, 29.78 mmol) was added followed by stirring for 1.5 hours with cooling on ice-bath. To the reaction mixture, ethyl acetate (13 ml) and water (92 ml) were added in this order followed by stirring for 30 minutes. The precipitates were filtered off, washed with water and purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate) to afford 3-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-propenyl (S)-4-(2-methyl-6-nitro-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]oxazol-2-ylmethyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (10.17 g, yield 83%) as a light yellow powder.
