Procedure

A mixture of 300 mg (2.6 mM) 4-methylthioazetidin-2-one, 10 ml acetic anhydride and 10 ml pyridine was stirred at 100° in a sealed tube 24 hours. After concentrating in vacuo, the residue was chromatographed on silica gel in hexane/ethyl acetate to yield 324 mg (78%) of 1-acetyl-4-methylthioazetidine-2-one.
