Abstract

We chose 3-benzyloxy-1, 4-diphenylazetidin-2-0ne (la) as a typical substrate and examined various metal hydride reducing agents. Attempted reduction by BH3. THF (22 h in refluxing dioxane) and NaBH,-AlC1,(3.5 h in refluxing ether) resulted in the complete recovery of the starting substrate and the reduction with LiAlH,, LiBEt, H, or LiB-sec-Bu3H gave 3-(phenyl- amino)-3-phenyl-2-(benzyloxy) propanol (3a) exclusively through
