Reaction Steps

Under argon atmosphere, [(3-bromo-2-fluorobenzyl)oxy](tert-butyl)dimethylsilane (5.5 g), 3-[(benzyloxy)methyl]azetidine (2.5 g), and toluene (50 ml) were mixed, and (1E,4E)-1,5-diphenylpenta-1,4-dien-3-one palladium (3:2) (900 mg), BINAP (1.8 g), and sodium tert-butoxide (2.5 g) were added thereto, followed by stirring at 90° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and EtOAc were added thereto, followed by filtering using Celite as a filtration adjuvant. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/EtOAc). The purified product thus obtained was mixed with EtOH (40 ml), and 10% palladium carbon (1 g) was added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature overnight under hydrogen atmosphere of 1 atm and filtering using Celite as a filtration adjuvant. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (CHCl3/MeOH) to obtain {1-[3-({[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}methyl)-2-fluorophenyl]azetidin-3-yl}methanol (885 mg).
