Reaction Steps

1-({3,4-Difluoro-2-[(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)amino]phenyl}carbonyl)azetidin-3-ol (132 mg, 0.295 mmol)ures similar to those in Example 1, was dissolved in dichloromethane (8 mL) and cooled to 0° C. Dess-Martin periodinane (187 mg, 0.441 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at ambient for 2 h. The mixture was quenched with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution: 10% sodium thiosulfate solution (1:1; 6 mL) and diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic portion was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Column chromatography (silica gel, 40-50% ethyl acetate in hexanes) gave 1-({3,4-difluoro-2-[(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)amino]phenyl}carbonyl)azetidin-3-one (122 mg, 0.273 mmol, 93% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 8.43 (br s, 1H), 7.44-7.38 (m, 1H), 7.36-7.32 (m, 1H), 7.27-7.20 (m, 1H), 6.86 (ddd, 1H), 6.64 (ddd, 1H), 4.94-4.93 (m, 4H); MS (EI) for C16H10F3IN2O2: 447 (MH+).
