Reaction Steps

Cyclobutanecarbonyl chloride (4.0 mL, 35 mmol) was added slowly to an ice-cooled solution of ethylamine [20 mL, 2M solution in tetrahydrofuran (THF)] and triethylamine (4.85 mL, 35 mmol) in anhydrous methylene chloride (25 mL) at 0-5° C. under nitrogen. After stirring for 20 min the mixture was warmed to 20-25° C. and stirred for an additional 5-7 h. The reaction was quenched by pouring the mixture into 5-10% aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated to give cyclobutanecarboxylic acid ethylamide as a pale yellow liquid, which solidified upon standing at RT.
