Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3R,4R)-3-[1-methyl-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyloxy)ethyl]-4-(2-oxoethyl)azetidin-2-one (9 mg) in acetone (1 ml) was added 2N Jones reagent (60 μl) at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes. After addition of isopropyl alcohol (100 μl), the mixture was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was taken up in chloroform (20 ml) and washed with brine. The aqueous layer was extracted with chloroform (5 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with aqueous saturated sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated to give {(2R,3R)-3-[1-methyl-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyloxy)ethyl]-4-oxo-azetidin-2-yl}acetic acid (7 mg).
