Pyridine → Phenyl 3-fluoro-4-(3-hydroxyazetidin-1-yl)phenylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-(4-amino-2-fluorophenyl)azetidin-3-ol (1.8 g, 9.94 mmol, 1.0 eq) in acetone (50 mL) was added pyridine (1.57 g, 19.87 mmol, 2.0 eq) and phenyl chloroformate (1.71 g, 10.89 mmol, 1.1 eq) and stirred at RT for 2 h. The reaction mixture was evaporated, diluted with EtOAc (100 mL), washed with water (100 mL) followed by brine and evaporated. The residue obtained was purified by CC (eluent: EtOAc/PE (1:4)) to obtain phenyl 3-fluoro-4-(3-hydroxyazetidin-1-yl)phenylcarbamate (2.3 g, 76%, brown solid) (TLC: EtOAc/PE (1:1), Rf: 0.45).
