4-Methylmorpholine → HCID 60520168, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (4-bromophenyl)acetic acid (1 g, 4.65 mmol), azetidine hydrochloride (481 mg, 5.12 mmol), HATU (1.95 g, 5.12 mmol) and NMM (1.03 g, 10.23 mmol) in DMF (30 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with 1 N HCl (15 mL×2) and 1 M aqueous K2CO3 (15 mL×2). The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 1-(azetidin-1-yl)-2-(4-bromophenyl)ethanone (1.37 g) as a solid which was used directly in the next step without purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 7.47 (d, 2H), 7.197 (d, 2H), 4.26 (t, 2H), 4.01 (t, 2H), δ 3.45 (s, 2H), δ 2.30 (p, 2H).
