Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-{[3-(2-tert-butylphenoxy)azetidin-1-yl]carbonyl}phenol (552 mg, 1.7 mmol) obtained in Example 139 in DMF (20 mL) were added potassium carbonate (1.04 g, 7.5 mmol) and methyl bromoacetate (352 mg, 2.3 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 3 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, partitioned between ethyl acetate and water, and the ethyl acetate layer was washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate 85:15-40:60) to give the title compound (578 mg, 69%) as a colorless solid.
