Reaction Steps

(R)-2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-2-cyclopropylacetic acid (2.25 g, 10.5 mmol) and O-benzotriazol-1-yl-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (3.69 g, 11.5 mmol) were dissolved in dichloromethane (105 mL). 3-Cyanoazetidine hydrochloride (1.36 g, 11.5 mmol) and then N,N-diisopropylethylamine (4.5 mL, 26.1 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 h. Water, dilute HCl and more dichloromethane were added, the layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted once more with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were washed with sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (methanol/dichloromethane) to give 2.45 g (83%) of [(R)-2-(3-cyano-azetidin-1-yl)-1-cyclopropyl-2-oxo-ethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester.
