Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Benzhydryl-3-hydroxyazetidine (3.0 g, 12.6 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (60 mL), and 10 mL of TFA and 10% palladium hydroxide (1.0 g) were added thereto. The mixture was stirred for 24 hours under a hydrogen stream at normal pressure. The catalyst was removed by filtration, water (100 mL) was added to the filtrate, and the mixture was washed three times with ether. The aqueous layer was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the title compound (2.33 g, 99%) was obtained as an amorphous matter.
