Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-nitrobenzyl (4R)-2-diazo-4-[(2R,3S)-3-{(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl}-4-oxoazetidin-2-yl]-3-oxopentanoate (1.0 g) in dichloroethane (10 ml) was added rhodium(II) octanoate (10 mg) under refluxing. After refluxing for 30 minutes, the reaction mixture was cooled and evaporated in vacuo to give a residue. The residue was dissolved in benzene (5 ml) and then evaporated in vacuo to give 4-nitrobenzyl (4R,5R,6S)-6-[(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-4-methyl-3,7-dioxo-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]-heptane-2-carboxylate.
