Dichloromethane methanol → HCID 57301135, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (±)-t-butyl 2-[cis-3-benzyloxycarbonylamino-4-(2-(2-furyl)ethyl)-2-oxoazetidin-1-yl]acetate (100 mg) and sudan red 7B (0.2 mg) in 6 mL of methanol-methylene chloride (1:1) was cooled to -78° C. Ozone/oxygen was bubbled in to the solution up to the endpoint of sudan red. The solution was allowed to warm to ambient temperature when 0.25N NaOH (1.87 mL) and 30% hydrogen peroxide (0.25 mL) were added. The solution was stirred for 2 hrs and was then diluted with H2O. The organic solvents were removed, and the aqueous solution was washed with ethyl acetate. The aqueous solution was layered with ethyl acetate and the pH of the mixture lowered to 3.7 with dilute hydrochloric acid. The ethyl acetate layer was washed (saturated NaCl), dried (NaSO4), and concentrated. The residue was crystallized from diethyl ether to provide the title compound (44 mg, 46% yield), mp 118°-120° C. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-hexane provided colorless crystals of the analytical sample.
