Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

n-Butyllithium in hexane (4.10 mmol) is added by syringe to a solution of diisopropylamine (4.10 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (16 ml) at -78° C. The resulting solution is stirred at -78° C. for 15 min. prior to the addition of a solution of 1-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)-4-(1,1-dimethyl-prop-2-enyl)-azetidin-2-one 3 (2.0 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydro uran (2 ml). After an additional 15 min. at -78° C., the reaction mixture is added via a Teflon tube to a mixture of N-acetylimidazole (4.1 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (16 ml) at -78° C. The resulting yellow reaction mixture is stirred at -78° C. for 15 min., then quenched by addition of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (10 ml). The reaction mixutre is diluted with ether (100 ml) and washed with 2.5N hydrochloric acid solution (25 ml) water (25 ml) and brine. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to yield crude products. This material is chromatographed on silica gel (2:1 petroleum ether:ether) to yield 4.
