Triethylamine → 3-Methanesulfonyloxy-1-[4-(p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonylaminomethyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)azetidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-hydroxy-1-[4-(p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonylaminomethyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]azetidine (457 mg, 1.25 mmol) (obtained as described in Reference Example 62(3)) in methylene chloride (25 ml) were added methanesulfonyl chloride (0.29 ml, 3.75 mmol) and triethylamine (0.53 ml, 3.80 mmol) in an ice bath. After stirring the mixture for 10 minutes in the ice bath, the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After checking the completion of the reaction, the mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column using toluene:acetonitrile (1:1) as the eluant to afford 3-methanesulfonyloxy-1-[4-(p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonylaminomethyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)azetidine (499.4 mg, yield 90%) as a yellow solid.
