Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

n-Butyllithium (1.81 mmol) is added by syringe to a solution of diisopropylamine (1.81 mmol) in 9 ml of freshly distilled tetrahydrofuran at -78° C. The resulting solution is stirred for 15 min at -78° C. Benzyl acetate (1.81 mmol) is then added dropwise by syringe and the resulting solution is stirred at -78° C. for 20 min. A solution of (3S,4R)-1-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)-3-[(R)-1-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl]-4-(2-oxoethyl)azetidin-2-one (1.64 mmol) in 3 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran is added slowly by syringe. The reaction mixture is stirred at -78° C. an additional 15 min and then quenched by addition of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. Ethyl acetate (50 ml) is added and the organic phase is separated, washed with water (2×10 ml) and brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. Removal of solvents in vacuo gives a white solid which is chromatographed on a short silica gel column (40% ether in petroleum ether) to yield (3S,4R)-1-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)-3-[(R)-1-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl]-4-(3-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-hydroxypropyl)azetidin-2-one. n.m.r.
