A short synthesis of all four stereoisomers of 3-amino-2-oxetanecarboxylic acid (oxetin) is described. The oxetane core is built using a Paternò-Büchi photochemical [2 + 2] cycloaddition; from the key intermediates, complementary resolution protocols provide access to enantiomerically pure oxetin and epi-oxetin on gram-scale.
