Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1-Boc-3-azetidinone (1) (2.0 gm, 11.68 mmol) was dissolved in dry THF (20 ml) under nitrogen and cooled to 0° C. Then the solution was added 2.0 M solution of Benzyl magnesium bromide (2) in THF (8.76 ml, 17.52 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was then allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 1 h. The reaction completion was monitored by TLC. The reaction was quenched by the addition of saturated ammonium chloride solution and extracted ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. Crude product was then purified by column chromatography to give compound 3 (2.15 gm, 70%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSOd6) δ: 1.40 (s, 9H), 2.25 (s, 2H), 4.00 (d, 2H), 4.35 (d, 2H), 6.05 (s, 1H), 7.18 (m, 3H), 7.25 (d, 2H); MS: m/z 263.90 (M+1)+.
