Enantiopure azetidinium salts were treated with various nucleophiles (azide anion, benzylamine, acetate anion or alkoxides) which provided interesting insights into the regioselectivity of the ring-opening process.

A lewis acid-mediated highly regioselective SN2-type ring-opening of 2-aryl-N-tosylazetidines with alcohols afforded various 1,3-amino ethers in excellent yields. Similar SN2-type ring-opening of chiral 2-phenyl-N-tosylaziridine with various alcohols produces the corresponding nonracemic 1,2-amino ethers in excellent yields and good ee.
