Participants

Reaction Steps

DBU (2.99 ml; 20.06 mmol; 1.10 eq.) was dissolved in DMF (37.5 ml) and put under nitrogen atmosphere. 3-Cyclopropyl-3-oxo-propionic acid ethyl ester (Betapharma, 3.132 g; 20.06 mmol; 1.10 eq.) was added to the mixture and it was stirred for 15 min. Then a solution of 1-azido-2-fluorobenzene prepared according to Platz, M. S. et al. J. Org. Chem. 1989, 54, 5938-5945, (2.5 g; 18.23 mmol; 1 eq.) in DMF (5 mL) was added dropwise to the solution at room temperature. Water (50 mL) was added to the cooled reaction mixture and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL). Combined organics were washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under vacuum affording the title compound as a brown oil. It was used in the next step without further purification. LC/MS (Method B): 276.1 (M+H)+.
