Carbon tetrabromide → Methyl 1-({5-[5-(3-chloro-4-isobutylphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl]-6-ethylpyridin-2-yl}methyl)azetidine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The crude product of the title compound was synthesized by conducting the similar reaction to that mentioned in Example 23 (23g) using {5-[5-(3-chloro-4-isobutylphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl]-6-ethylpyridin-2-yl}methanol (0.15 g, 0.40 mmol) that was obtained in Example 25 (25c), carbon tetrabromide (0.27 g, 0.80 mmol), triphenylphosphine (0.21 g, 0.80 mmol), methyl 3-azetidinecarboxylate hydrochloride (91 mg, 0.60 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.21 ml, 1.2 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 (1:1 to 2:1 or 3:1) as the eluent to afford the title compound (0.16 g) in a yield of 83% as a pale yellowish oily product.
