Procedure

A 50 mL flask was charged with 1-(diphenylmethyl)-3-phenoxyazetidine (328 mg, 1.04 mmol; which may be prepared as described in Step 2) and 1,2-dichloroethane (4.6 mL). 1-Chloroethyl chloroformate (164 μL, 1.35 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 1.5 h. After cooling to room temperature, MeOH (4.6 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness. The crude product was triturated in pentane to give the title compound (204 mg, quantitative) as pale yellow crystals. This product was used in the next step without further purification.
