Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 2 L-3neck flask equipped with mechanical stirrer, thermocouple, addition funnel and nitrogen inlet was charged with (4-bromophenyl)trimethylsilane (80.4 g, 0.35 mol), THF (600 mL), Mg (8.5 g), and I2 (catalytic amount). The suspension was refluxed at 68° C. for 1.5 hours until all magnesium disappeared. The solution was cooled to 0° C. in ice-bath. Then, a solution of tert-butyl 3-oxoazetidine-1-carboxylate (Preparation 2, 30 g, 0.17 mol) in THF (200 mL) was added slowly via addition funnel. The solution was stirred at 0° C. for 3 hours. LC/MS indicated the formation of desired product. The reaction was quenched with brine at 0° C. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×800 mL). The combined organics were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give the desired product (47.4 g, 84% yield). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.3 (d, 2H), 7.2 (d, 2H), 4.0 (d, 2H), 3.9 (d, 2H), 2.9 (s, 1H), 1.2 (s, 9H), 0.0 (s, 9H).
