Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(4-chloromethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-azetidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (From Step 1) (386 mg, 1.34 mmol), 4-tetrazol-1-yl-phenol (217 mg, 1.34 mmol), Cs2CO3 (655 mg, 2.01 mmol) and KI (22 mg, 0.13 mmol) in acetonitrile (5 mL) was heated under reflux for 4 hours. After cooling, the solid was filtered through a pad of celite. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified on silica gel (EtOAc-hexanes, 1:1) to afford the desired product. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 8.92 (1H, s), 7.61 (2H, d), 7.32 (1H, s), 7.19 (2H, d), 5.25 (2H, s), 4.39 (2H, m), 4.18 (2H, m), 4.14 (1H, m), 1.46 (9H, s).
