Triethylamine → (S)-methyl 2-(6-((4'-((1-(cyclopropanecarbonyl)azetidin-3-yl)oxy)-2',6'-dimethylbiphenyl-3-yl)methoxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-yl)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The crude (S)-methyl 2-(6-((4′-(azetidin-3-yloxy)-2′,6′-dimethylbiphenyl-3-yl)methoxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-yl)acetate 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate 14c (40 mg, 0.09 mmol) was dissolved in 3 mL of dichloromethane, followed by addition of triethylamine (0.1 mL, 0.26 mmol) and cyclopropanecarbonyl chloride 15a (14 mg, 0.13 mmol). The reaction solution was stirred for 12 hours. The resulting solution was mixed with 10 mL of dichloromethane, washed with saturated sodium chloride solution (5 mL), dried with anhydrous magnesium sulphate, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the crude title compound (S)-methyl 2-(6-((4′-((1-(cyclopropanecarbonyl)azetidin-3-yl)oxy)-2′,6′-dimethylbiphenyl-3-yl)methoxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-yl)acetate 15b (46 mg) as a red oil, which was directly used in the next step without further purification.
