Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 3-[(1,3-thiazol-2-ylsulfonyl)methyl]azetidine-1-carboxylate (51 mg, 0.16 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (0.5 mL) and TFA (0.5 mL) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred for 30 min. then concentrated in vacuo. The residual oil was taken up in MeOH (2 mL), then NaCNBH3 (16.2 mg, 0.26 mmol) and 1,2-benzisothiazole-3-carbaldehyde (28.6 mg, 0.18 mmol) [prepared by the method of T. Hasegawa, Y. Akiyama, T. Imai, E. Sato, Y. Yamamoto, J. Tanaka, H. Nagaso, K. Fuji, K. Murase, M. Shiiyama, WO 98/08816] were added. The mixture was stirred overnight then partitioned between 0.5 N NaOH (20 mL) and EtOAc (20 mL). The aqueous phase was washed with EtOAc (20 mL) and the organic layers were combined, washed with saturated brine (20 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified using column chromatography, on silica gel, eluting with 50–60% EtOAc in DCM to give the title compound as a colourless oil (19 mg, 29%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.96–3.06 (1H, m), 3.12 (2H, m), 3.57 (2H, t, J=7.6 Hz), 3.72 (2H, d, J=7.3 Hz), 4.04 (2H, s), 7.41–7.45 (1H, m), 7.50–7.54 (1H, m), 7.74 (1H, d, J=3.1 Hz), 7.91 (1H, d, J=8.2 Hz), 8.05 (1H, d, J=3.0 Hz), 8.10 (1H, d, J=8.1 Hz). m/z (ES+) 366 (M+H)+.
