Acetaldehyde → (3S,4R)-1-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)3-[(R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-4-[2,2,2-tri(methylthio)ethyl]azetidin-2-one

Temperatur

-78 °C

n-Butyllithium (14.8 ml of 2.5N hexane solution, 37.0 mmol) is added by syringe to a solution of diisopropylamine (3.74 g, 37.0 mmol) in 180 ml of freshly distilled tetrahydrofuran at -78° C. The resulting solution is stirred at -78° C. for 15 min prior to the addition of a solution of (4S)-1-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)-4-[2,2,2-tri(methylthio)ethyl]azetidin-2-one (12.34 g, 35.16 mmol) in 35 ml of tetrahydrofuran. This solution is stirred at -78° C. for 10 min prior to the addition of acetaldehyde (4.62 g, 105 mmol). The solution is stirred for an additional 5 min. at -78° C. and then quenched by addition of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, and allowed to warm to room temperature. The mixture is poured into 250 ml of ether and washed with water (2×100 ml) and brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. Removal of solutions in vacuo gives an oil which is chromatographed on a silica gel column (1:1 ether:petroleum ether) to give (3S,4R)-1-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)-3-[(R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-4-[2,2,2-tri(methylthio)ethyl]azetidin-2-one (7.0 g, 50.4%) at Rf =0.2. The product can be recrystallized from petroleum ether. Alternatively, the trans R product can be isolated from the crude reaction mixture by direct crystallization from a petroleum ether solution.
