The title synthesis was achieved by featuring diastereoface selective cyclopropanation of (4R,5S)-4,5-diphenyl-3-vinyl-2-oxazolidinone, the chiral and conformationally rigid N-vinylcarbamate, with zinc-monofluorocarbenoid followed by hydrogenolysis of formed (4R,5S)-3-[(1R-2S)-2-fluorocyclopropyl]-4,5-diphenyl-2-oxalidinone.
