Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic anhydride (0.2 mol) is added dropwise to an ice-cold, stirred solution of 3-azido-4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-azetidin-2-one (0.2 mol) and pyridine (0.21 mol) in methylene chloride (200 ml). The solution is stirred for 15 more min. at room temperature (25° C.), then washed with water, dried with magnesium sulfate, and filtered. Evaporation of the methylene chloride under vacuum leaves 3-azido-4-(2-trifluoroacetoxyethyl)azetidin-2-one.
