Novel azetidine, and particularly 2-pyridyl-azetidine, compounds are disclosed. These compounds are produced from amino-esters by a sequence comprising conversion to the sulfonamide, reduction of the ester to the alcohol, sulfonation of the resultant alcohol and cylization to the N-sulfonylazetidine. This azetidine compound may then be transformed, as desired, to various N-derivatives by substitution of hydrogen or other univalent organic groups on the secondary amine of the azetidine ring.
