KINETIC RESOLUTION OF (4S)-4-PHENYL-3-[5(RS)-(4-FLUOROPHENYL)-5-HYDROXYPENTANOYL]-1,3 OXAZOLIDIN 2-ONE TO (5S) ISOMER VIA LIPASE CATALYZED ENANTIOSELECTIVE ESTERIFICATION OF THE (5R) ISOMER

摘要

A process for synthesis of 4S-phenyl-3-[(5S)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-hydroxypentanoyl]-1,3 oxazolidin 2-one comprising resolution of 4S-phenyl-3-[(5RS)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-hydroxypentanoyl]-1,3 oxazolidin 2-one by selective esterification of 4S-phenyl-3-[(5R)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-hydroxypentanoyl]-1,3 oxazolidin 2-one using appropriate esterification reagent in an organic solvent in presence of Lipase enzyme at a temperature ranging from 0° to 100° C., and further isolation.
