Thermolysis of neat N ‐carboethoxy‐3‐azido‐3‐ethylazetidine ( 3 ) at 200° under argon produced the corresponding cyclic imine 4 (68% yield). Prolonged refluxing of a mixture of N ‐triflylazetidin‐3‐one ( 7 ), sodium azide, and titanium tetrachloride in acetonitrile solvent afforded recovered 7 (25% yield) along with a colorless microcrystalline solid, 8 , mp 104–105° (20% yield), whose structure was established unequivocally via application of X‐ray crystallographic methods.
