Methyl bromoacetate → HCID 67272987, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of azetidin-3-ylmethyl-bis-(3-methyl-pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-amine (0.4739 g, 1.6 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (16 mL) were added DIPEA (0.56 mL, 3.2 mmol), and methyl bromoacetate (0.18 mL, 1.9 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 19 hours, and then saturated NaHCO3 (15 mL) was added and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×50 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated. Purification of the crude material by column chromatography on silica gel (100:1:1 CH2Cl2-MeOH—NH4OH) provided 0.1411 g (24%) of (3-{[bis-(3-methyl-pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-amino]-methyl}-azetidin-1-yl)-acetic acid methyl ester as a yellow sticky oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 2.09 (s, 6H), 2.53-2.58 (m, 2H), 2.65-2.78 (m, 3H), 3.10 (s, 2H), 3.51 (t, 2H, J=6.0 Hz), 3.65 (s, 3H), 3.68 (s, 4H), 7.06-7.10 (m, 2H), 7.38 (d, 2H, J=9.0 Hz), 8.35 (d, 2H, J=6.0 Hz).
