The mixture is then stirred and heated in an oil bath maintained at 80° C. for 70 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture is filtered and the filtrate is evaporated under vacuum to an oil. Crystallization from ethyl acetate (5 ml)-diethylether (20 ml) provides benzyl 1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-3,7-dione-2-carboxylate (502 mg, 77% yield) as small, white prisms: mp 100°-102°; IR (CH2Cl2) 1770; 1741 cm-1 ; UV (dioxane) 220 nm; NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) α 2.43 (dd,1,J=8 and 19, H4a), 2.94 (dd,1,J=6.5 and 19, H4b), 2.99 (dd,1,J=2 and 16, H6B), 3.63 (dd,1,J=5 and 16, H6α), 4.18 (m,1,H5), 4.76 (S,1,H2), 5.23 (S,2,CH2 φ), and 7.40 (S,5,ArH); MS m/e 259 (M+), 231 (M+-28), 217 (M+-42), 203, 187, 186, 168 (M+-91), 124, and 91.
