1 Introduction

1,3-Oxazolidin-2-ones are structural components of many compounds that display pharmacological properties [1–11]. Furthermore, they have also been used as chiral auxiliaries and intermediates in asymmetric synthesis of numerous pharmaceutical products [12,13].

During the past few years, significant progress has been made in the discovery of new biologically active N-aryl and N-alkyloxazolidin-2-ones [14–16]. However, the N-sulfonylated oxazolidin-2-ones were not sufficiently elaborated, and only few reports have described the synthesis of N-tosyloxazolidin-2-ones [17–19].

Several methods have been employed for the synthesis of racemic and optically active oxazolidin-2-ones. One of the most efficient methods to build the heterocyclic carbamate involves the condensation of 1,2-amino alcohols with carbonyl derivatives such as phosgene [20], trichloromethyl chloroformate [18], bis-(trichloromethyl) carbonate [21], isocyanates [12], chloroformates [22], ureas [23], or diethylcarbonate [24]. The catalyzed addition of CO2 to aziridines has also been employed to prepare racemic N-tosyloxazolidin-2-ones [17].

Izuhara et al. [18] have described a four-step synthesis of the optically pure 4-benzyl-3-tosyloxazolidin-2-one starting from (l)-phenylalanine. In this sequence, the trichloromethyl chloroformate has been employed as a carbonylating agent. In this work, we describe a three-step synthesis of a variety of new chiral N-arylsulfonyloxazolidin-2-ones, using the same strategy cited above. We have employed the bis-(trichloromethyl) carbonate (BTC) instead of the trichloromethyl chloroformate, since it appears to be safer due to its lower vapor pressure and higher stability [25].

2 Results and discussion

Enantiomerically pure N-arylsulfonyloxazolidin-2-ones are prepared in three steps from commercially available (d)- and (l)-amino acid. As illustrated in Scheme 1, sulfonylation of α-amino acids with arylsulfonylchlorides, in a two-phase mixture of i-PrNEt2 in acetone and aqueous NaOH, leads to the N-arylsulfonyl amino acids 1ap, which were then reduced to the N-arylsulfonyl amino alcohols 2ap with good to excellent yields (Table 1) by use of lithium aluminium hydride in THF or (THF:Et2O). The same procedure has been employed by Berry and Craig [26] to prepare N-tosyl-α-amino alcohols from α-amino acids. These authors have determined the enantiomeric purity of N-tosyl-α-amino alcohols (entry 2mp) by the formation of the corresponding MTPA esters [27], the minor diastereoisomers have not been detected in the 500 MHz 1H NMR spectrum of the crude product [26].

Subsequent reaction of compounds 2ap with BTC, in the presence of Et3N at −78 °C to r.t., provided the corresponding N-arylsulfonyloxazolidin-2-ones 3ap in excellent yields without racemization, as confirmed by chiral HPLC analysis on tow compounds (entries 3c and 3h) (Scheme 2).

3 Conclusion

We have synthesized, in good yields, a variety of new chiral N-arylsulfonyloxazolidin-2-ones from their corresponding α-amino acids. The test of the biological activity and the study of synthetic properties of these new products are under investigation in our laboratory.

4 Experimental section

TLC was performed on Merck 60F-254 silica gel plates (layer thickness 0.25 mm). Column chromatography was performed on silica gel (70–230 mesh) using ethylacetate and cyclohexane mixture as eluents. Melting points were determined on a Electrothermal 9002 apparatus and are uncorrected. 1H NMR spectra were recorded at 300 MHz. All chemical shifts are reported as δ values (ppm) relative to internal tetramethylsilane. CH2Cl2, THF were respectively distilled over CaH2 and Na/benzophenone. Elemental analyses were carried out by ‘Service de microanalyse’ of ‘Institut national de recherche et d'analyse physico-chimique de Tunis’. HPLC analyses were conducted on a methanol/hexane [70:30] system with a UV detector at 254 nm, using a Chirobiotic V column (250 × 46 mm) and a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min.

N-Arylsulfonyl amino alcohols 2ap were prepared according to literature [26]; compounds 2mp were reported by Berry and Craig [26].

4.13 Preparation of (4S)-3-(phenylsulfonyl)-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one: 3a

To a solution of bis-(trichloromethyl)carbonate (0.43 g, 1.44 mmol, 0.3 eq) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL) at −78 °C was slowly added a solution of N-(phenylsulfonyl)phenylalaninol 2e (1.07 g, 3.68 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (40 mL). After 15 min of stirring, triethylamine (10 mmol, 1.4 mL, 3 eq) in CH2Cl2 (80 mL) was added dropwise maintaining the temperature below −70 °C. The resulting mixture was stirred at −78 °C for 5 min and then the ethylacetate–N2 (liquid) bath was removed. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h and washed with 1 N HCl (50 mL) and brine (3 × 25). Evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure gave a residue, which was purified by chromatography on silica gel using [cyclohexane/ethylacetate (8:2)], as mobile phase.
