Methanol → tert-butyl 5'-((hydroxyimino)methyl)-3'H-spiro[azetidine-3,1-isobenzofuran]-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of tert-butyl 5′-formyl-3′H-spiro[azetidine-3,1-isobenzofuran]-1-carboxylate (Preparation 42, 1.5 g, 5.184 mmol, 1 eq) in mixture of methanol (20 mL) and water (10 mL) was added hydroxyl amine hydrochloride (0.537 g, 7.777 mmol, 1.5 eq) followed by addition of sodium acetate (0.765 g, 9.332 mmol, 1.8 eq) at room temperature. Resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. After complete consumption of starting material, reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to afforded yellow colored residue, which was diluted by water (70 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×30 mL). Combined organic phase was washed with brine solution (50 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to get yellow semi solid (1.9 g, crude). Crude was purified by Combiflash using 40 g Redisep column. Desired compound was eluted in 24% ethyl acetate in hexane to afford title compound as yellow semi solid (1.1 g, 69.62%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 1.47 (s, 9H), 4.13 (d, J=9.6 Hz, 2H), 4.31 (d, J=9.84 Hz, 2H), 5.10 (s, 2H), 7.43 (s, 1H), 7.47 (d, J=7.88 Hz, 1H), 7.56 (d, J=7.92 Hz, 1H), 8.14 (s, 1H). (m/z): 303.3 (M−H).
