The TiIV-mediated synthesis of spirocyclic NH-azetidines from oxime ethers using either an alkyl Grignard reagent or terminal olefin ligand exchange coupling partner is described. Through a proposed Kulinkovich-type mechanism, a titanacyclopropane intermediate forms and serves as a 1,2-aliphatic dianion equivalent, inserting into the 1,2-dielectrophilc oxime ether to ultimately give rise to the desired N-heterocyclic four-membered ring. This transformation proceeds in moderate yield to furnish previously unreported and structurally diverse NH-azetidines in a single step.
