Ethyl bromoacetate → HCID 63303097, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl 3-aminoazetidine-1-carboxylate (10.0 g, 58 mmol), ethyl 2-bromoacetate (10.7 g, 64 mmol) and potassium carbonate (24.0 g, 174 mmol) in MeCN (200 mL) was stirred at rt for 13 hrs. The reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated. The crude material was purified by silica gel column chromatography (gradient elution 0˜66% EtOAc/petroleum ether) to afford tert-butyl 3-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethylamino)azetidine-1-carboxylate (12.1 g, 81%) as a white solid. ESI-MS (EI+, m/z): 259.0 [M+1-1]+.
