Potassium Carbonate → 3-(4-Amino-2-fluorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-1-(1,1-diphenylmethyl)azetidine

Sec. butyllithium (22.5 mL of a 1.3 M solution in cyclohexane, 29.5 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 1-(3-fluorophenyl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-aza-2,5-disilacyclopentane (Example 20, Step 1) (6.0 g, 23.7 mmol) at -78° C. under nitrogen in dry THF (75 mL). After 2 hr a solution of 1-(1,1-diphenylmethyl)azetidin-3-one (5.6 g, 23.6 mmol) in dry THF (60 mL) was added dropwise and stirring continued at -78° for 2 hr, when the cooling bath was removed. After reaching room temperature, a solution of saturated ammonium chloride (75 mL) was added followed by water (200 mL). The mixture was extracted with ether (500 mL), washed with brine (100 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue was dissolved in methanol (150 mL) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (6.0 g, 43.5 mmol) added and then stirred overnight. The suspension was filtered and the filtrate evaporated. The residue was partitioned between ether (500 mL) and water (200 mL). The water was extracted with additional ether (200 mL) and the combined ether extracts washed with brine (100 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to afford an orange foam. Chromatography over silica gel (150 g, 40-60 μm) eluting with 25-50% ethyl acetate-hexane gave the title compound as a pale yellow foam. 1H NMR δ (CDCl3): 2.62, 3.53, 3.78, 4.41, 6.36, 6.41, 7.03, 7.14-7.30, 7.39-7.47.
