Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.93 g of (3S,4S)-4-acetoxy-3-tritylamino-2-oxoazetidine in 100 ml of methanol is added a solution of 0.64 g of methyl thioglycolate sodium salt with stirring under ice-cooling. After 1 hour, the solvent is distilled off and the residue is dissolved in ethyl acetate. The solution is washed with water, then the solvent is distilled off, and the residue is purified by silica gel column-chromatography (methylene chloride:ethyl acetate=11:1) to give 1.38 g of (3R4R)-4-methoxycarbonylmethylthio-3-tritylamino-2-oxoazetidine (A) and 0.92 g of the corresponding (3R,4S)-isomer (B)
