Participants

Reaction Steps

A 0.4 g (1.3 mmole) portion of 1-[2-[[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl](hydroxy)methyl]cyclohexyl]azetidine, from step A above was added during 5 min to 4 ml of ice cooled sulfuric acid. The mixture was stirred in ice for 20 min. The resulting mixture was poured into ice, basified with sodium hydroxide, and extracted with six 30 ml portions of chloroform. The chloroform extracts were combined and dried with magnesium sulfate and evaporated to give 0.173 g of (±)-(E)-1-[2-[[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylene]cyclohexyl]azetidine. The crystalline p-toluenesulfonic acid salt of this azetidine derivative was prepared, mp 135°-136° C.
