n-Butyllithium (2.43 ml of 2.4 m solution, 5.84 mmol) is added by syringe to a solution of diisopropylamine (591 mg, 5.84 mmol) in 25 ml of freshly distilled tetrahydrofuran at -78° C. The resulting solution is stirred at -78° C. for 15 minutes prior to the addition of a solution of (4R)-1-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)-4-[2,2,2-tri(methylthio)ethyl]azetidin-2-one (1.00 g, 2.85 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml). This solution is stirred at -78° C. for 15 minutes, then added via a Teflon tube to a mixture of N-acetylimidazole (642 mg, 5.84 mmol) in 25 ml of THF at -78° C. The resulting yellow reaction mixture is stirred at -78° C. for 10 minutes, then quenched by addition of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. The mixture is diluted with ether (200 ml) and washed with 2.5N hydrochloric acid solution (50 ml), water (50 ml) and brine (50 ml) and dried over magnesium sulfate. Removal of solvents in vacuo gives a yellow oil which is chromatographed on silica gel (30% ether in petroleum ether) to yield (3S,4R)-1-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)-3-(1-oxoethyl)-4-[2,2,2-tri(methylthio)ethyl]azetidin-2-one. n.m.r.
