Objective To study the synthetic routes of 3-{[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl) oxy] methyl} cyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid.Methods With 3-methylenecyclobutane-1-carbonitrile as the starting material, 3-{[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl) oxy] methyl} cyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid was synthesized through optimized synthetic procedures by using tipical synthetic operations including: hydrolysis, reduction, protection, oxidationResults The target mol. was successfully synthesized and the structure was confirmed by NMR and HR-MS spectroscopy.Conclusion The synthesis process of 3-{[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl) oxy] methyl} cyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid has good operability, mild conditions without using expensive transion metals and column-purification, which is quite suitable for industrial production
