Ethyl p-methylbenzenesulfonate → HCID 21345202, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-hydroxy-3-(1-Boc-2-(S)-azetidinylmethoxy)pyridine (500 mg, 1.78 mmol, from step 120f) in dimethylformamide (15 mL) was treated with ground KOH (170 mg, 1.7 mmol) and stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. To this mixture was rapidly added ethyl p-toluenesulfonate (430 mg, 2.14 mmol), and the resultant was stirred at 80° C. overnight. The mixture was concentrated to remove the dimethylformamide, and the residue was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic extracts were combined, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under vacuum to give 1.0 g of unpurified product. This material was purified by chromatography (silica gel: hexane/EtOAc, 1:1) to give 537 mg (98%) of the title compound. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ: 1.40 (s, 9H), 1.42 (t, J=6 Hz, 3H), 2.30 (m, 2H), 3.92 (t, J=9 Hz, 2H), 4.05 (q, J=6 Hz, 2H), 4.30 (m, 1H), 4.54 (m, 1H), 6.80 (m, 1H), 7.95 (m, 2H). MS (CI/NH3) m/e: 309 (M+H)+.
