Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 18.00 g (0.31 mol) azetidine in 50 ml tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise to a solution of 25.00 g of diketene (0.30 mol) in 200 ml tetrahydrofuran at −5 to 0° C. After 1 h stirring at 0° C. no more starting material was detected by thin layer chromatography. The reaction mixture was evaporated and the residue is recrystallized from 100 ml of ethyl acetate. This gave 26.45 g (0.19 mol, 63% yield) of a white solid.
