1,3-Difluoroacetone → HCID 67126718, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl azetidin-3-ylcarbamate (0.256 g) and 1,3-difluoropropan-2-one (0.154 g) in dichloromethane (2 mL) was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.473 g) and the reaction was allowed to stirred at room temperature. After 16 hours, the reaction was quenched with saturated NaHCO3 solution (10 mL) and extracted into dichloromethane (25 mL). The organic layer was dried and concentrated. Silica gel chromatography (GraceResolv 12 g) eluting with a gradient of 0.5% to 3.5% methanol/dichloromethane followed by treatment with HCl (4.0M in dioxane, 3 mL) and methanol (0.5 mL) for 2 hours gave the title compound after concentration.
