Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 6-chloro-2-chloromethyl-3-iodo-pyridine (2.5 g, 8.7 mmol, 1 eq) in dry THF (25 mL) was added i-PrMgCl.LiCl complex (1.3M in THF, 7.37 mL, 9.6 mmol, 1.1 eq) at −20° C. in drop wise manner over period of 10 minutes. Pre-dissolved solution of N-boc-3-azetidinone (1.78 g, 10.4 mmol, 1.2 eq) in dry THF (10 mL) was added at −20° C. to above reaction mixture. Resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. After maximum consumption of starting material, reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C., quenched with 10% citric acid solution (20 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). Combined organic phase was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to get brown oil (4.5 g, crude). Crude of title compound was used as such for next reaction. LC-MS (m/z): 332.9 (M+H).
