(5R)-5-(chloromethyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 5-(R)-Chloromethyloxazolidine-2-one (prepared according to [Danielmeier et al. Efficient Pathways to (R)- and (S)-hydroxymethyl-2-oxazolidinone and some derivatives. Tetrahedron: Asymmetry. 1995, vol. 6, pp. 1181-1190] (5 mmol) is reacted with sodium azide (7-10 mmol) in acetone (ca. 40-50 mL) at r.t. for ca. 24 h (until the reaction is completed). Solids are filtered off, and supernatant evaporated under vacuum to afford the product which is immediately used for the next step. Optionally, the synthesis is performed in dry N,N-dimethylformamide under inert atmosphere with sodium azide (5-10 mmol) or tetrabutylammonium azide (5-10 mmol), and the resulting solution of the crude 5-(S)-azidomethyloxazolidine-2-one is employed for the next step without solvent removal. Solids are filtered off supernatant evaporated under vacuum to afford the product which the resulting solution of the crude 5-(S)-azidomethyloxazolidine-2-one is employed for the next step without solvent removal

Procedure: A mixture of (5R)-5-(chloromethyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one (2.15 g, INTERMEDIATE 5), 2-bromo-5-chloropyridine (3.05 g), cesium carbonate (20.67 g), bispalladium tribenzylideneacetone (2.18 g) and (9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) (2.07 g) in 16 ml of dioxane was stirred at 85° C. for 12 h. The sample was then cooled to room temperature, and purified was purified via column chromatography (2×) on a Biotage Horizon 65i column eluting with 0% ethyl acetate in hexanes (1 column volume), followed by a gradient to 60% ethyl acetate in hexanes (over 10 column volumes), and held at 60% ethyl acetate for 4 column volumes to provide the title compound (2.32 g, 59%). Mass spectrum (ESI) 249.0 (M+2). The sample was then cooled to room temperature purified was purified via column chromatography (2×) on a Biotage Horizon 65i column eluting with 0% ethyl acetate in hexanes (1 column volume)
