(5R)-3-(3-Fluoro-4-(4-morpholinyl)phenyl)-5-hydroxymethyl-2-oxazolidione Usage And Synthesis

Uses

[(R)-3-(3-Fluoro-4-morpholinophenyl)-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methanol is an intermediate in the synthesis of Linezolid Dimer (L466520), an impurity of the antibacterial agent Linezolid (L466500).

Synthesis

GENERAL STEPS: Example 3: Preparation of (R)-3-[3-fluoro-4-(4-morpholinophenyl)]-5-hydroxymethyl-2-oxazolidinone [131] To a mixed solution of n-butanol (51.5 g) and THF (100 ml) was added slowly at 20-30°C under nitrogen protection n-butyllithium (1.6 M in hexanes, 391.7 g), keeping the reaction temperature at 10-20°C. The process was continued for 45-60 minutes. In another reactor, N-carboxyphenylmethoxy-3-fluoro-4-morpholino aniline (100 g) was dissolved in THF (500 ml) under nitrogen protection and stirred at 20-30 °C. Subsequently, the mixture was cooled to -15 to -5°C, and the n-butyllithium solution prepared as described previously was slowly added, maintaining the temperature at -15 to -5°C for 45-60 minutes of reaction. Then, (R)-(-)-glycidyl butyrate (48.0 g) was slowly added to this solution and kept at -10 to -5°C for 1 hour. After the addition was completed, the reaction temperature was raised to 8-13°C maintained at 8-13°C for 1 hr, and then raised to 13-15°C for 4-5 hrs of reaction. After completion of the reaction, water (800 ml) and ethyl acetate (300 ml) were added for layering. The organic layer was washed with ethyl acetate-hexane mixture and the solid was dried in an air pan drier at 55-60 °C. Yield: 0.765 g in 85% yield. [132]
