Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → ethyl [4-((2R,3R)-3-{[(5,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)methyl]thio}-4-oxo-1-phenylazetidin-2-yl)phenoxy]acetate

Reaction Steps

Ethyl (4-{(1S,2R)-1-anilino-2-{[(5,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)methyl]thio}-3-oxo-3-[(4S)-2-oxo-4-phenyl-1,3-oxazolidin-3-yl]propyl}phenoxy)acetate (2.1 g, 2.9 mmol) was dissolved in dry toluene (200 ml) and heated to 90° C. under inert atmosphere. N,O-Bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide (BSA, 2.1 ml, 8.7 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at 90° C. for one hour. At 45° C. tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF, cat., 0.1 g) was added and the mixture was stirred at 45° C. for 18 h. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash-chromatography (hexane:EtOAc 5:1). This afforded 0.98 g (60%) of the title compound as a yellow oil. 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 200 MHz): 0.6 (s, 3H), 1.2-1.4 (m, 6H), 3.0-3.2 (t, broad, 2H), 3.3-3.5 (m, 4H), 3.95 (d, 1H), 4.2-4.4 (q, 2H), 4.6 (s, 2H), 4.8 (d, 1H), 6.9-7.1 (m, 3H), 7.2-7.6 (m, 1H). MS (CI) M/z: 584.2 (M++Na).
