Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4-cyano-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)-3-methanesulfonyloxyazetidine (309 mg, 1.27 mmol) (obtained as described in Reference Example 23(3)) in dimethylformamide (15 ml) was added potassium thioacetate (0.87 g, 7.62 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred in an oil bath (80° C.) for 5 hours. After checking the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution. The obtained organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column using hexane:ethyl acetate (2:1) as the eluant to afford 3-acetylthio-1-(4-cyano-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)azetidine (157 mg, yield 55%) as a colorless oil.
