The reaction mixture was filtered through a bed of Celite® which was washed with IMS. The filtrates were combined and concentrated to give a residue which was reacted as above for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was worked up as above to give a residue which was dried under reduced pressure to give 3-(Tetrahydropyran-4-yl)azetidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as a beige solid (26.7 g, 92%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CHCl3-d): δ 4.03-3.90 (m, 4 H); 3.63 (dd, J=8.6, 5.7 Hz, 2 H); 3.37 (td, J=11.8, 2.0 Hz, 2 H); 2.32-2.19 (m, 1 H); 1.63-1.48 (m, 3 H); 1.44 (s, 9 H); 1.29-1.12 (m, 2 H).
