Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-phenylacetamido-1-(α-carbobenzoxy-p-hydroxybenzyl) azetidin-2-one (15 mg), methylene chloride (0.5 ml), aluminum chloride (12 mg) and anisole (0.2 ml) is kept at -20° C. for 8 hours. The reaction mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with dilute hydrochloric acid and water, dried, and concentrated in vacuo. Crystallizing the residue from a mixture of ethyl acetate and ether gives 3-phenylacetamido-1-(α-carboxy-p-hydroxybenzyl)azetidin-2-one (9 mg) melting at 134°-141° C. Yield: 75%.
