Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of tert-butyl 3-(2-tert-butylphenylthio)azetidine-1-carboxylate (1.70 g, 5.29 mmol) in dioxane (5.0 mL) was added hydrogen chloride (5.3 mL of 4.0 M solution in dioxane, 21.2 mmol) at room temperature. After 24 h the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was triturated with diethyl ether to provide 3-(2-tert-butylphenylthio)azetidine hydrochloride (1.18 g, 87%) as a white solid.
