Dimethyl Sulfoxide → 4-[7-(Azetidin-3-yloxy)-quinazolin-4-yl]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of Azetidin-3-ol hydrochloride (Oakwood) (461 mg, 4.21 mmol), KOtBu (1.02 g, 9.11 mmol), and dry DMSO (4.2 mL) was stirred at rt for 30 min until a translucent solution resulted. Then 4-(7-fluoro-quinazolin-4-yl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.46 g, 4.41 mmol), as prepared in Example 65b, was added, and the resulting opaque orange mixture (no visible precipitate) was stirred at rt for 3.5 hr. The reaction was then shaken with water (40 mL) and extracted with DCM (1×20 mL) and 9:1 DCM/MeOH (1×20 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with 0.2 M K2CO3 (3×20 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated to give 1.715 g of the title compound as an off-white solid (“106%” crude yield). LC/MS (ESI): calcd mass 384.2, found 385.3 (MH)+.
