Triethylamine → (3S,4S)-4-(1-t-butyldimethylsilyloxymethylethyl)-3-(1-(R)-benzyloxycarbonyloxyethyl)-1-di(p-anisyl)methyl-2-azetidinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (3S,4S)-4-(1-t-butyldimethylsilyloxymethylethenyl)-3-(1-(R)-benzyloxycarbonyloxyethyl)-1-di(p-anisyl)methyl-2-azetidinone (1.0 g) and triethylamine (0.06 ml) in ethyl acetate (50 ml) was hydrogenated under hydrogen atmosphere in the presence of platinum dioxide (0.05 g) at 0°-5° C. for 2 hours. After removal of the catalyst, the filtrate was washed successively with 2N hydrochloric acid, brine, 5% sodium bicarbonate solution and brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Filtration and concentration of the filtrate in vacuo gave (3S,4S)-4-(1-t-butyldimethylsilyloxymethylethyl)-3-(1-(R)-benzyloxycarbonyloxyethyl)-1-di(p-anisyl)methyl-2-azetidinone.
