Acetic Acid → 4-[3-[3-(Tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)propyl]2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxoazetidin-1-yl]benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

13.2 g of 4-[5-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-oxo-4-phenyloxazolidine-3-carbonyl)pentylamino]benzonitrile are dissolved in 380 ml of methyl tert-butyl ether, 18.6 ml of N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide and 1.86 ml of a 1 M solution of tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran are added and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Once the reaction has ended, 10 ml of acetic acid are added, the reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is purified on silica gel using toluene/ethyl acetate 50/1. This gives 4-[3-[3-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)propyl]-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxoazetidin-1-yl]benzonitrile of molecular weight 544.75 (C32H37FN2O3Si); MS (ESI): 545.56 (M+H+).
