Abstract

The ester bond and amide bond of linezolid were selectively hydrolyzed by using LiOH to afford N-[(2R)-3-[[3-fluoro-4-(4-morpholino)phenyl]amino]-2-hydroxypropyl] acetamide (2) and (2S)-1-amino-3-[[3-fluoro-4-(4-morpholino)- phenyl]-amino]-2-propanol (4) with 78.3% and 86.6% yields respectively, which were the partially hydrolyzed impurity and fully hydrolyzed impurity of the injection of linezolid. The terminal amino group of compound 4 was then protected with tert-butyloxycarbonyl and subjected to N,O-diacetylation. Subsequently, N-[(2S)-3-amino-2-hydroxypropyl]-N-[3-fluoro-4-(4-morpholino)phenyl]acetamide (3) hydrochloride was synthesized by removal of O-acetyl with ammonia/methanol and then deprotection tert-butoxycarbonyl using saturated solution of hydrogen chloride in ether with 62.3% overall yield.
