1-Methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole → tert-Butyl-3-((4-chloro-2-methoxy-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)quinolin-6-yl)(hydroxy)(1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-5-yl)methyl)azetidine-1-carboxylate

Reaction Steps

To a flask containing 1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (150 mg, 1.81 mmol) was added THF (15 mL) and the colorless homogeneous solution was cooled to −43° C. using a CH3CN—CO2 bath. n-BuLi (2.5M in hexanes, 0.7 mL, 1.75 mmol) was added drop wise via syringe which afforded an opaque mixture. The suspension was stirred at −40° C. for 30 min, then a THF solution of tert-butyl-3-(4-chloro-2-methoxy-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)quinoline-6-carbonyl)azetidine-1-carboxylate (430 mg, 0.8 mmol, in 2 mL THF, Intermediate 66: step b) was introduced at −40° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm gradually to room temperature over 45 min and then quenched with NH4Cl solution. The aqueous portion was extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL) and the combined organics were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to provide an amber gum. Chromatography on silica gel (10% acetone-hexane increasing to 30% acetone) afforded the title compound (170 mg) as a white amorphous solid. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.24 (d, J=2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.78 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.56-7.47 (m, 3H), 7.40 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.35 (dd, J=8.7, 2.1 Hz, 1H), 4.35 (s, 2H), 4.20 (t, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 4.07 (s, 3H), 4.00 (dd, J=9.3, 5.6 Hz, 1H), 3.92 (dd, J=8.9, 5.7 Hz, 1H), 3.67 (s, 3H), 3.62 (t, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 3.52-3.38 (m, 1H), 1.38 (s, 9H). MS (ESI): mass calcd. for C30H31ClF3N5O4: 618.06, m/z found 619.9 [M+H]+.
