Procedure

A stirred mixture of 4.4 g (0.027 mole) of 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole and 2.9 g (0.027 mole) of (aminoethyl) cyclopropane hydrochloride in 50 ml of methylene chloride was treated with the dropwise addition of 2.73 g (0.027 mole) of triethylamine. The reaction was exothermic. The mixture was cooled while stirring for 1 hr, then 9.6 g (0.025 mole) of 3-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]azetidine, 56.66% purity, (contains diphenylmethane) was added all at once and stirring continued for 18 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated on a rotary evaporator to give an amber residue. Trituration of this residue with 30/60 petroleum ether gave only an insoluble oil. The trituration step was repeated with 2×20 ml of 30/60 petroleum ether and the residue treated with water to yield a white solid. The solid was recrystallized from is propyl ether to yield 4.8 g (61.8%) of white platelike crystals; after during at 80° C. under 0.5 mm Hg vacuum, m.p. 132°-133° C.
