254 mg of rhodium-on-alumina at 5% are added to 652 mg (2.62 mmol) of 3-pentyl-3-phenylazetidine oxalate (cf.) in 13 ml of water and 6.5 ml of THF. The medium is placed under a hydrogen atmosphere at 6 bar of pressure and heated at 80° C. After 23 hours, the reaction medium is filtered through celite and the solvents are evaporated off. 0.43 g of 3-cyclohexyl-3-pentylazetidine oxalate is obtained with a yield of 64%.
