Process for producing 5-hydroxymethyl substituted oxazolidinone alcohols and transformation to 5 aminomethyl substituted oxazolidinone amines which are useful in production of antibacterial pharmaceuticals

摘要

A process for producing 5-hydroxymethyl substituted oxazolidinone alcohols (III) from carbamates (IIA) or a trifluoroacetamide (IIB) using a dihydroxy compound (I) as starting material and for the transformation of the hydroxymethyl substituted oxazolidinone alcohols (III) to the corresponding amino compounds, 5-aminomethyl substituted oxazolidinone amines (VII) which are acylated to form commercially useful antibacterial 5-acylamidomethyl substituted oxazolidinone.
