3-Azido-4-carboethoxy-1-(p-methoxyphenyl)-azetidine-2-one → HCID 19748755, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.16 g of 3-azido-4-carboethoxy-1-(p-methoxyphenyl)-azetidine-2-one in ethanol was hydrogenated with palladium to yield 4-carboethoxy-1-(p-methoxyphenyl)-3-aminoazetidin-2-one. This amine was acylated with 1.1 ml of trifluoro acetic anhydride in 10 ml CH2Cl2 containing 1.5 ml pyridine, followed by methylation using 1 ml dimethyl sulfate in 30 ml acetone containing 3 g potassium carbonate. After isolation, the crude product was crystallized to give 2.2 g of 4-carboethoxy-1-(p-methoxyphenyl)-3-(N-methyltrifluoroacetamido)azetidine-2-one, m.p. 102°-104°.
