4-nitrobenzyl 2-diazo-4-[(2R,3R)-3-{1-methyl-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyloxy)ethyl}-4-oxoazetidin-2-yl]-3-oxobutanoate → 4-nitrobenzyl (2R,5R,6R)-3,7-dioxo-6-[1-methyl-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyloxy)ethyl]-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-nitrobenzyl 2-diazo-4-[(2R,3R)-3-{1-methyl-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyloxy)ethyl}-4-oxoazetidin-2-yl]-3-oxobutanoate (1.00 g) and rhodium (II) acetate (5 mg) in benzene (50 ml) was refluxed for 25 minutes. After cooling to ambient temperature, the mixture was filtered through cellulose powder. The filtrate was evaporated to give 4-nitrobenzyl(2R,5R,6R)-3,7-dioxo-6-[1-methyl-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyloxy)ethyl]-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate (0.94 g) as an amorphous solid.
