Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl 3-(benzylamino)azetidine-1-carboxylate (13a) (0.55 gm, 2.09 mmol) in DMF was added methyl iodide (0.26 ml, 4.18 mmol) and cesium carbonate (1.36 gm, 4.18 mmol). The resultant reaction mixture was then warmed to 60° C. and stirred for 2 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with ethyl acetate (100 ml), washed with water (3×25 ml), brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The crude product was purified by column chromatography to give compound (13b) (2.46 gm, 72%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 1.40 (s, 9H), 3.40 (m, 5H), 4.00 (m, 2H), 4.20 (m, 2H), 5.2 (m, 1H), 7.50 (m, 3H), 7.70 (d, 2H); MS: m/z 277.10 (M+1)+.
