Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 3-(fluoromethyl)azetidine-1-carboxylate (0.1 g, 0.53 mmol) and trifluoroacetic acid/DCM (1:1, 5.3 mL) was stir at room temperature for 30 min. Then the reaction mixture was concentrated on a rotary evaporator to afford 3-(fluoromethyl)azetidine 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate as clear oil. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6; TFA salt): δ 8.74 (br, 2H), 4.54 (dd, 2H), 4.08-3.98 (m, 2H), 3.84-3.76 (m, 2H), 3.20-3.06 (m, 1H).
