Reaction Steps

To a mixture of (2R)-3-cyclopentyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-N-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]propanamide (22.5 g, 81 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (22.5 g, 97 mmol) in THF (800 mL) at 0° C. was added dropwise diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (18.9 mL, 97 mmol). The reaction mixture was maintained at 0° C. for 45 min and was then evaporated. Purification by chromatography on silica gel using an eluting system of hexane/EtOAc (95:5) provided (3R)-3-(cyclopentylmethyl)-1-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]-2-azetidinone (16.9 g, 81%). LCMS: (M+H)+: 260.1.
