Reaction Steps

Dissolve azetidine-1,3-dicarboxylic acid mono-tert-butyl ester (300 mg, 1.50 mmol.) in THF (5.0 mL) and treat with lithium aluminum hydride (1.0M in ether, 3.0 mL, 3.0 mmol). Stir for 18 hours, quench with 3.0 mL of 1.0M NaOH, dilute with ether, filter through celite and evaporate. Treat the resulting 3-hydroxymethyl-azetidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester with 10 mL of trifluoroacetic acid for 20 minutes an evaporate. Use this material without further purification. Combine 4-(3-Phenyl-indole-1-sulfonyl)-benzoic acid (100 mg, 0.26 mmol) and the resulting azetidin-3-yl-methanol in dichloromethane (1.0 mL) and triethylamine (0.100 mL, 0.717 mmol, excess) and add benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexfluorophosphate (BOP Reagent) (150 mg, 0.33 mmol, excess) at room temperature. Stir for 30 minutes, evaporate and load entire reaction directly onto pre-packed silica gel column and purify by flash column chromatography (EtOAc/Hexanes) to give 41 mg of (3-Hydroxymethyl-azetidin-1-yl)-[4-(3-phenyl-indole-1-sulfonyl)-phenyl]-methanone as a white solid (35%). LRMS: MH+ 447.2.
