Reaction Steps

1-(1-chloro-1-t-butoxycarbonylmethyl)-3-(triphenylmethylamino)-4-(4-tetrahydropyranyloxybut-2-ynylthio) azetidin-2-one (650mg) was dissolved in 1:1 THF/dioxan (12ml) under nitrogen. Triphenylphosphine (525mg) and pyridine (158mg) were added and the mixture heated at 55° for 15.5 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate evaporated. Dry toluene was added to the residue and the solution decanted from any solid and evaporated. Chromatography on silica afforded 1-(1-t-butoxycarbonyl-1-triphenylphosphoranylidenemethyl)-3-(triphenylmethylamino)-4(4-tetrahydropyranyloxybut-2-ynylthio)azetidin-2-one as an amorphous solid (470mg).
