Conditions

Temperature: 60 °C

Procedure

1.22 g of 4-[3-[3-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-hydroxypropyl]-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxoazetidin-1-yl]-benzonitrile (4) were dissolved in 90 ml of ethanol. 10 ml of conc. ammonia solution and an excess of Raney nickel were added, and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. and a hydrogen pressure of 10 bar for 8 h. Overnight, the reaction mixture cooled to room temperature. The next day, the catalyst was removed, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography using dichloromethane/methanol/ammonia solution 10/1/0.1. This produced 1-(4-aminomethylphenyl)-3-[3-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-hydroxypropyl]-4-(4 methoxyphenyl)-azetidin-2-one (5) of molecular weight 434.51 (C26H27FN2O3); MS (ESI): 418.2 (MH+−NH3).
