Reaction Steps

Dissolve 3-(4-bromo-2-methoxy-phenoxy)-azetidine (1.84 g, 7.13 mmol) in dichloroethane (80 mL). Add cyclobutanone (1.86 mL, 25 mmol), sodium triacetoxyborohydride (3.02 g, 14.3 mmol) and acetic acid (0.82 mL, 14.3 mmol). Stir the mixture overnight, then add saturated sodium bicarbonate and extract three times using dichloromethane. Dry the combined organic portions over sodium sulfate, filter, and concentrate. Purify by silica gel chromatography using a 0-3% gradient of methanol/dichloromethane to give 1.26 g (56%) of the title compound.
