摘要

A facile synthetic route of linezolid 1 has been developed. Using commercially available (R)-epichlorohydrin as the starting material, 1 was obtained through a sequence of cyclization, substitution, a Goldberg coupling, aminolysis and acetylation reactions. The synthetic route is easy to perform and can be scaled up.
