Reaction Steps

A mixture of (3S,4S)-3-(N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanyl)-amino-4-acetoxy-azetidin-2-one (500 mg, 1.18 mmol) obtained in example 7, thiophenol (117 mg, 1.07 mmol), and zinc acetate dihydrate (207 mg, 0.95 mmol) in a mixture of benzene (20 ml) and toluene (20 ml) was refluxed for 4 hrs using Dean-Stark water separator. After cooling, the reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate, containing a small volume of acetone, and water. The organic layer was washed with water, brine and dried over sodium sulfate. After removal of the solvent to dryness, a white solid was washed with dichloromethane and 410 mg of the title compound was obtained as a white solid.
