Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (0.76 ml, 5.45 mmol) and acetic anhydride (0.43 ml, 4.56 mmol) were added to an ice-cooled solution of tert-butyl 3-(aminomethyl)-1-azetidinecarboxylate (J. Med. Chem. 2001; 44(1); 94) (850 mg, 4.56 mmol) in dichloromethane (50 ml), and the reaction stirred for 30 minutes. The solution was washed with water (50 ml), brine (50 ml), dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using ethyl acetate as eluant to afford the title compound as a yellow oil.
