Participants

Reaction Steps

0.36 g (1.98 mmol) of EDC, 0.25 g (1.85 mmol) of HOBt and 0.51 g (1.73 mmol) of (R)-2-tert-butoxy-carbonylamino-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propionic acid are added to 0.43 g (1.69 mmol) of 3-cyclohexyl-3-pentylazetidine oxalate dissolved in 8 ml of DMF. After 5 minutes, 0.9 ml (6.5 mmol) of triethylamine is added. After 1 hour 30 minutes, the reaction medium is extracted with a 1/1 EtOAc/heptane mixture and washed with a solution of 1N hydrochloric acid, of 1N sodium hydroxide and of water. The organic phase is dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue is purified on a silica column (eluent 6/4 heptane/EtOAc). 0.48 g of tert-butyl[(R)-2-(3-cyclohexyl-3-pentylazetidin-1-yl)-1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-2-oxoethyl]carbamate in the form of a colourless oil is obtained with a yield of 59%.
