Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-Fluorophenol (0.005 ml, 0.056 mmole) in acetonitrile (1 ml), potassium carbonate (10 mg, 0.0728 mmol) were added followed by the addition of methyl 5-chloro-2-(3-((methylsulfonyl)oxy)azetidin-1-yl)nicotinate (D63) (20 mg, 0.062 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 150° C. under microwave irradiation for 10 min (2 cycle of 5 min each) then at 180° C. for 5 min. After solvent evaporation the obtained residue was purified by SPE-Si (10 g) eluting with mixture cyclohexane/ethyl acetate from 95/5 to 90/10. Collected fractions, after solvent evaporation, afforded the title compound D77 (10 mg)
