Methyl iodide → HCID 86686255, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

TFA (0.5 ml) was added to a mixture of [3-(3-{[(6-tert-butoxypyridin-3-yl)oxy]methyl}azetidin-1-yl)-2-fluorophenyl]methanol (146 mg) and dichloromethane (1 ml), followed by stirring at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by basic silica gel column chromatography (CHCl3/methanol). The purified product thus obtained was mixed with DMF (2 ml), and potassium carbonate (100 mg) and methyl iodide (68 mg) was added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and CHCl3 and water were added to the residue. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (CHCl3/methanol) to obtain 5-({1-[2-fluoro-3-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]azetidin-3-yl}methoxy)-1-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one (82 mg).
