Procedure

3-Oxocyclobutanecarbonitrile was prepared according to Elend, D.; Fengas, D.; Fray, J. M. Synthetic Communications, 2005, 35, 657. To a solution of 3-oxocyclobutanecarbonitrile (600 mg, 6.31 mmol) in MeOH (25 mL) at 0° C. was slowly added sodium borohydride (263 mg, 6.94 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h then quenched with water and brine and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organics were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to afford 500 mg (82%) of cis-3-hydroxy-cyclobutanecarbonitrile as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): δ (ppm) 4.26 (quin, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 2.70-2.82 (m, 2H), 2.50-2.66 (m, 1H), 2.26-2.41 (m, 2H), 2.09 (br. s., 1H).
