Reaction Steps

A 100-mL single-neck round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer and reflux condenser was charged with 2-nitro-5-hydroxypyridine (2.00 g, 14.3 mmol), tert-butyl 3-iodoazetidine-1-carboxylate (6.06 g, 21.5 mmol), sodium hydride (800 mg, 20.2 mmol) and DMF (30 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at 110° C. for 24 h. After this time, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate (200 mL) and washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (100 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography to afford 251a in 95% yield (4.00 g) as a yellow oil: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) d 8.27 (d, 1H, J=9.0 Hz), 8.14 (d, 1H, J=3.0 Hz), 7.26 (dd, 1H, J=9.0, 3.0 Hz), 5.04 (m, 1H), 4.39 (m, 2H), 4.06 (m, 2H), 1.44 (s, 9H); MS (ESI+) m/z 196.1 (M-Boc+H).
