To a solution of 962 mg (4.56 mmol) of the imine derived from benzaldehyde and p-methoxy aniline, and 0.85 mL (6.07 mmol) of triethylamine in 15 mL of CH2Cl2 at -20° C. was added dropwise a solution of 413 mg (3.04 mmol) of α-acetoxy acetyl chloride in 15 mL of CH2Cl2. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to 25° C. over an 18 h period. The reaction mixture was then diluted with 100 mL of CH2Cl2 and the solution was extracted with 30 mL of 10% aqueous HCl. The organic layer was washed with 30 mL of water and 30 mL of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrate to provide a solid mass. The solid was triturated with 50 mL of hexane and the mixture was filtered. The remaining solid was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane to give 645 mg (68%) of cis-1-p-methoxyphenyl-3-acetoxy-4-phenylazetidin-2-one as white crystals, m.p. 163° C.
