Acetic Acid → 4-[3-[3-(Tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)propyl]2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxoazetidin-1-yl]benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

13.2 g of 4-[5-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-oxo-4-phenyloxazolidine-3-carbonyl)pentylamino]benzonitrile (2) were dissolved in 380 ml of methyl tert-butylether. 18.6 ml of N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide and 1.86 ml of a 1 M solution of tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran were added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. After the reaction ended, 10 ml of acetic acid were added, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified on silica gel using toluene/ethyl acetate 50/1. This produced 4-[3-[3-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)propyl]-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxoazetidin-1-yl]-benzonitrile (3) of molecular weight 544.75 (C32H37FN2O3Si); MS (ESI): 545.56 (M+H+).
