Benzyl Bromide → HCID 68832696, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-acetyl-2-(4-fluorobenzyl)-7-(hydroxymethyl)-2,5-diazabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane-3-one (1.3 g, 4.45 mmol) in 40 mL anhydrous THF under nitrogen, sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil, 231 mg, 5.78 mmol) was added. After stirring for 1 h, benzyl bromide (0.58 ml, 4.89 mmol) in THF (1 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. The aqueous layer was extracted with chloroform three times. The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using hexanes and ethyl acetate as eluents to give the title product.
