Reaction Steps

In 100 ml of methylene chloride were dissolved under ice-cooling 5 g of p-toluenesulfonate of (3S, 4RS)-3-amino-4-cyano-2-azetidinone and 4.2 g of pyridine. To the solution was added 3 g of phenylacetyl chloride. The mixture was stirred at room temperature (about 25° C.) for ten minutes, which was shaken with water. The organic layer was separated and dried on anhydrous magnesium sulfate, then concentrated under reduced pressure. The concentrate was purified on a silicagel column chromatography [ethyl acetate:n-hexane (2:1)] to yield 1.16 g of (3S, 4S)-4-cyano-3-phenylacetamido-2-azetidinone (A) and subsequently 0.84 g of a corresponding (3S, 4R)-derivative (B).
