Procedure

A solution of tert-butyl 3-hydroxyazetidine-1-carboxylate (3.5 g, 0.020 mol) in toluene (200 mL) was treated with imidazole (4.08 g, 0.060 mol), triphenylphosphine (0.60 g, 0.040 mol), and iodine (7.62 g, 0.030 mol). The mixture was heated at 100° C. for 1 h. It was then cooled to room temperature and poured into saturated NaHCO3 solution (30 mL). Excess triphenylphosphine was destroyed by addition of iodine until iodine coloration persisted in organic layer. The mixture was washed with 5% Na2SO3 solution, dried over Na2SO4, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography to afford 206a (5.31 g, 93%). MS-ESI: [M+H]+ 284.
