Transformation of 3-(chloromethyl)azetidin-2-ones to azetidine-3-carboxylic acid esters is described. The readily available 3-(chloromethyl)azetidin-2-ones rearranged in good yields to azetidine-3-carboxylic acid esters on treatment with alkoxides. An alternative ring opening - ring closure procedure is also identified.
