Procedure: The compound, 4-bromo-2-(chloromethyl)-1-iodobenzene (500 g, 1.509 moles) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (3750 mL) and cooled to −20° C. i-PrMgCl—LiCl (1.3M solution in THF) (1275 mL, 1.66 moles) was added at less than −15° C. The reaction mixture was cooled to −20° C. 3-oxo-azetidine-1-carboxylic acid, tert-butyl ester (310 g, 1.81 moles), as a solution in tetrahydrofuran (750 mL), was added. The reaction was warmed to room temperature over 90 minutes, and then stirred overnight. Aqueous citric acid solution (2 L, 1 M) was added, followed by tert-butylmethylether (2 L). The mixture was shaken. The organic phase was separated, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated to dryness to give an orange oil. The oil was dissolved in ethanol (2.5 L) and the solution diluted with water (1 L). The mixture stood at room temperature, overnight. The resulting crystals of tert-butyl 5′-bromo-3′H-spiro[azetidine-3,1′-isobenzofuran]-1-carboxylate were filtered under reduced pressure and dried under vacuum at 50° C., giving 290 g. was added at less than −15° C The reaction was warmed to room temperature over 90 minutes The mixture was shaken The organic phase was separated dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate filtered evaporated to dryness to give an orange oil The mixture stood at room temperature, overnight The resulting crystals of tert-butyl 5′-bromo-3′H-spiro[azetidine-3,1′-isobenzofuran]-1-carboxylate were filtered under reduced pressure dried under vacuum at 50° C. giving 290 g
