Azetidines are important motifs in medicinal chem., but there are a limited number of methods for their synthesis. Herein, the authors present a new method for their modular construction by exploiting the high ring strain associated with azabicyclo[1.1.0]butane. Generation of azabicyclo[1.1.0]butyl lithium followed by its trapping with a boronic ester gives an intermediate boronate complex which, upon N-protonation with acetic acid, undergoes 1,2-migration with cleavage of the central C-N bond to relieve ring strain. The methodol. is applicable to primary, secondary, tertiary, aryl, and alkenyl boronic esters and occurs with complete stereospecificity. The homologated azetidinyl boronic esters can be further functionalized through reaction of the N-H azetidine, and through transformation of the boronic ester. The methodol. was applied to a short, stereoselective synthesis of the azetidine-containing pharmaceutical, cobimetinib.
