Carbon tetrabromide → Methyl 1-({5-[5-(4-isobutyl-3-methylphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl]pyridin-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-(4-isobutyl-3-methylphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl]pyridin-2-yl}methanol (0.19 g, 0.58 mmol) that was obtained in Example 28 (28a), carbon tetrabromide (0.39 g, 1.2 mmol), triphenylphosphine (0.30 g, 1.2 mmol), methyl 3-azetidinecarboxylate hydrochloride (0.13 mg, 0.87 mmol), and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.30 ml, 1.7 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 (0.15 g) in a yield of 60% as a white crystalline solid.
