Acetic Acid → (R)-2-[(3S,4S)-3-[(R)-1-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl]-2-oxoazetidin-4-yl]propionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3S,4R)-3-[(1R)-1-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl]-4-[(1R)-3-hydroxy-1,3-dimethyl-2-oxobutyl]-2-azetidinone (135 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (4 ml) was added 1M solution of sodium periodate buffered with acetic acid (mole ratio 1:1) (7.8 ml) at room temperature and the mixture was stirred for 1 day at the same temperature. The reaction mixture was evaporated, acidified, and extracted twice with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed twice with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to give (2R)-2-[(2S,3S)-3-{(1R)-1-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl}-4-oxoazetidin-2-yl]propionic acid (85 mg).
