Oxazolidinone represent a novel chemical class of synthetic antimicrobial agents. Linezolid represents the first member of this class to be used clinically. Oxazolidinones display activity against important Gram-positive human and veterinary pathogens including Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE) and β-lactam Resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP). The oxazolidinones also show activity against Gram-negative aerobic bacteria, Gram-positive and Gram-negative anaerobes. (Diekema D J et al., Lancet 2001 ; 358: 1975-82).

Preparation of (55)-iV-{3-[3,5-difluoro-4-(4-hydroxy-4-methoxymethyl-piperidin-l-yl)- phenyl]-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethyl}-acetamide (I)

To a stirred solution of lithium teri-butoxide (59.1 g, 0.74 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (500 ml) was added a solution of [3,5-difluoro-4-(4-hydroxy-4-methoxymethyl-piperidin-l-yl)-phenyl]-carbamic acid benzyl ester (II) (100 g, 0.25 mol) in 500 ml of tetrahydrofuran slowly at room temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature (formation of lumps observed). The reaction mixture was cooled to temperature of 10°C to 15°C and acetic acid l-(acetylamino-methyl)-2-chloro-ethyl ester (III) (95.2 g, 0.49 mol) was added in one lot, after 5 minutes methanol (2.36 g, 0.075 mol) was added in one portion. The resulting mixture was stirred further at temperature of 10°C to 15°C. After 5 hours the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirring continued further for 16 hours. An aqueous solution of saturated ammonium chloride (100 ml) was added to the reaction mixture, the resulting mixture was stirred well and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure (35°C, 150 mm Hg). The residual mixture was diluted with water (1 L stirred well and filtered under suction, the residual solid was washed with additional fresh water (100 ml). The residual mass was suspended in acetone (500 ml), stirred well and the mixture diluted with hexane (1 L), slowly. The mixture was stirred further for 1 hour and filtered under suction. The residual solid was washed with a 2:1 mixture of acetone and water (100 ml). The residual solid was dried at 45°C, for 3.5 hour at 4 mm Hg, to obtain the 78 g of (55)-N-{3-[3,5-difluoro-4-(4-hydroxy-4-methoxymethyl-piperidin-l -yl)-phenyl]-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethylj -acetamide (I) as white solid, in 77% yield.

Preparation of acetic acid l-(acetylamino-methyl)-2-chloro-ethyl ester (III)

Step-I: Preparation of l-amino-3-chloro-propan-2-ol hydrochloride (VI)

Benzaldehyde (118.67 g, 1.03 mol) was dissolved in ethanol (297 ml) under stirring and the solution was cooled to 18-19°C. To this solution aqueous ammonia solution (25%) (101.58 ml) was added slowly, followed by slow addition of S-epichlorohydrin (100 g, 1 mol). The resulting mixture was warmed to 40°C and stirred for 7 hours. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and stirred further. After 16 hours, the reaction mixture was concentrated to 50% volume under reduced pressure. Toluene (228 ml) was added to the reaction mixture followed by addition of aqueous hydrochloric acid (162 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid diluted with 152 ml of water). The mixture thus obtained for 3 hours at 45°C, the resulting mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and the toluene layer separated. The toluene layer was further extracted with water (56 ml). The combined aqueous layer was diluted with ethanol (56 ml) and the mixture evaporated under reduced pressure. This process was repeated again. To the final concentrate was added ethanol (180 ml), stirred for 10 minutes and the mixture cooled to -28°C to -30°C and maintained at this temperature for 2 hours. The separated solid was filtered under suction and the residue washed with cold (-30°C) ethanol (50 ml). The residue was dried at 45°C, under reduced pressure (4 mm Hg) for 3 hours, to obtain 96 g of l-amino-3-chloro-propan-2-ol hydrochloride (VI) as white solid in 61% yield.

A stirred solution of dichloromethane (220.8 ml) containing the step-I salt (96 g, 0.66 mol) was cooled to 18-20°C. Acetic anhydride (154.78 g, 1.5175 mol) was added slowly (slight exothermic). Pyridine (67.76 g, 0.8577 mol) was added slowly (exothermic) while maintaining the temperature at 18-20°C. The resulting mixture was heated to 40°C for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and stirring continued for further 16 hours. The reaction mass was cooled to 3-6°C and diluted with 170 ml of fresh water. To this was added an aqueous solution of potassium carbonate (191.2 g of K₂CO₃ in 382 ml water). The reaction mixture was further diluted with additional dichloromethane (170 ml) and water (425 ml). The reaction mass was stirred well and the dichloromethane layer separated. The aqueous layer was further extracted with 2×170 ml dichloromethane. The combined dichloromethane layer was washed with aqueous sodium chloride solution (13.6 g of sodium chloride in 493 ml water). The solvent was evaporated till a volume of 170 ml and the residual layer was diluted with toluene (340 ml), stirred well and the solvent was evaporated completely at 40°C under reduced pressure (4 mm Hg). To the residue ethyl acetate (170 ml) and hexane (187 ml) were added and the mixture stirred for 30 minute. The separated solid was filtered under suction and the residue washed with 50 ml of a 1 :1 mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane. The solid obtained was dried under reduced pressure (4 mm Hg) at 45°C for 3.5 hours, to obtain 96 g of acetic acid l-(acetylamino-methyl)-2-chloro-ethyl ester (III) as a white solid, in 75% yield.
