1,3-Propanediamine, N'-(ethylcarbonimidoyl)-N,N-dimethyl-, monohydrochloride → 1-({4-[(2-Fluoro-4-iodophenyl)amino]-3-thienyl}carbonyl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)azetidin-3-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-[(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)amino]thiophene-3-carboxylic acid (200 mg, 0.551 mmol), 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (202 mg, 1.65 mmol) and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (127 mg, 0.662 mmol) were dissolved in DMF (3 mL). The mixture was stirred at ambient for 5 minutes and then 3-(hydroxymethyl)azetidin-3-ol hydrochloride (72 mg, 0.516 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred for 15 h. The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 20% citric acid. The aqueous portion was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic portion was washed with 5% lithium chloride, saturated sodium bicarbonate and brine, then was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was crystallized from dichloromethane to afford 1-({4-[(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)amino]-3-thienyl}carbonyl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)azetidin-3-ol (247 mg, 0.551 mmol, quantitative yield) as off-white crystals: MS (EI) for C15H14FIN2O3S: 449 (MH+).
