Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-[4-(Hydroxyimino-methyl)-phenyl]-azetidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (Preparation 39, 1 g, 3.62 mmol, 1.0 equivalents) in DMF (6.0 mL) was added NCS (725.26 mg, 5.43 mmol, 1.5 equivalents) and heated to 50° C. for 1 hour. Progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC using 5% methanol in dichloromethane. After complete consumption of starting material, reaction was cooled to 0° C. followed by the addition of potassium hydrogen carbonate (543.18 mg, 5.43 mmol, 1.5 equivalents) and pre-dissolved solution of 1,3-Dichloro-5-(1-trifluoromethyl-vinyl)-benzene (1.04 g, 4.345 mmol, 1.2 equivalents) in DMF (4.0 mL). Resulting reaction was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. Progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC using 20% ethyl acetate in hexane and visualized in UV light (254 nm). Reference of required product was 0.6 and 0.5 for starting material. After consumption of starting material, reaction mixture was quenched with water (40 mL) extracted with diethyl ether (3×50 mL). Combined organic layer was washed with brine (20 mL) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo to afford (1.50 g, crude). Further purification by column chromatography (on neutral alumina) using 10% ethyl acetate in hexane as eluent afforded off white solid 1.3 g (69.84%). 1H NMR and LC-MS were consistent. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 1.39 (s, 9H), 3.84 (m, 3H), 4.25-4.38 (m, 4H), 7.47 (d, J=8 Hz, 2H), 7.62 (d, J=1 Hz, 2H), 7.71 (d, J=8 Hz, 2H), 7.81 (t, J=2 Hz, 1H). LC-MS (m/z):=513 (M−H).
