Abstract

The total synthesis of oxazolidinone-based pharmaceuticals, linezolid, tedizolid and rivaroxaban is reported. They are synthesized using a recently reported copper-catalyzed one-pot cyclization and arylation as the key step to construct the N-aryloxazolidinone core. Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) were synthesized from a common synthetic pool of a simple protected amino alcohol in 22%, 61% and 40% total synthesis yields, respectively.
