Abstract

A thoroughly optimized and robust process for the synthesis of 1-benzylazetidin-3-ol has been emphasized. 1-Benzylazetidin-3-ol has been utilized as a starting material in the commercial synthesis of azetidin-3-ol hydrochloride. Synthesis of azetidin-3-ol hydrochloride involves the usage of very low cost and commercially available starting material (benzylamine) and with reduced formation of di (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) benzylamine ...
