Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(4-Bromophenyl)-1-methyl-ethylamine (1 g, 4.67 mmol) and epichlorohydrin (439 μl, 5.6 mmol) in EtOH (15 mL) were heated at 70° C. for 18 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and purified by reverse phase preparative HPLC-MS to obtain 1-[1-(4-bromo-phenyl)-1-methyl-ethyl]-azetidin-3-ol as a white solid (489 mg, 38%).
