Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of (S)-4-oxo-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (1.0 g; 8.689 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (35 mL) 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undec-7-ene (DBU) (3.1 mL; 20.854 mmol) is added at room temperature. After 10 min di-μ-hydroxy-bis[N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylenediamine)-copper (II) chloride (Cu-TMEDA) (1.614 g; 3.476 mmol) is added to the clear solution. The mixture is stirred for 10 min and 4-chlorophenylboronic acid (1.495 g; 9.558 mmol) is added. After 20 hours, solvent is evaporated in vacuo, the concentrate taken up in saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (150 mL) and the aqueous layer is washed with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The aqueous layer is treated with 1N hydrochloric acid to pH 2 and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). Combined organic extracts washed with brine (2×50 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and solvent removed in vacuo to give the title compound as an off-white solid, m/z 226 [M+H+]
