Triethylamine → Benzyl 3-(alpha-azidoacetoxy)-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-7-one-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Azidoacetyl chloride (21 μl) is added by syringe in an ice-cold, stirring solution of triethylamine (42 μl) and benzyl 1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-3,7-dione-2-carboxylate (52 mg) in anhydrous methylene chloride (2 ml). After stirring 30 mins in the cold, the reaction mixture is diluted with methylene chloride (5 ml), washed with H2O (2 ml), pH 3 phosphate buffer (2 ml), and 5% NaHCO3 (2 ml), dried with MgSO4, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo. Chromatography of the residue on a silica gel GF plate gives benzyl 3-(α-azidoacetoxy)-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-7-one-2-carboxylate.
