Carbon tetrabromide → Methyl 1-[(5-{5-[3-chloro-4-(3-fluorophenoxy)phenyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl}-4-ethyl-2-thienyl)methyl]azetidine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The crude product of the title compound was synthesized by conducting the reaction similar to that mentioned in Example 1 (1f) using (5-{5-[3-chloro-4-(3-fluorophenoxy)phenyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl}-4-ethyl-2-thienyl)methanol (0.15 g, 0.34 mmol) that was obtained in Example 16 (16b), carbon tetrabromide (0.16 g, 0.51 mmol), triphenylphosphine (0.13 g, 0.51 mmol), methyl 3-azetidinecarboxylate hydrochloride (0.073 g, 0.51 mmol), and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.14 mL, 0.84 mmol). Subsequently, the crude product of the title compound thus obtained was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column using a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate and hexane (2:8 to 5:15) as the eluent to afford the title compound (0.16 g) in a yield of 88% as a colourless oily product.
