Reaction Steps

(3-Diazo-1-methyl-2-oxo-propyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (0.250 g, 1.17 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous DCM (6 mL) and Et3N (1.18 mg, 0.012 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and rhodium (II) acetate (0.010 g, 0.023 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h then concentrated in vacuo to give 2-methyl-3-oxo-azetidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester, which was used in the next step without further purification. TLC (eluting with 20% EtOAc/heptane) Rf=0.3.
