Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzyl ((2S,3S)-2-((R)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl)-1-(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-4-oxoazetidin-3-yl)carbamate (240 g, 0.557 mol) in EtOAc (4.5 L) was added a solution of sodium periodate (132 g, 0.617 mol) in water (1.125 L) and the bilayer was heated to 50° C. for 2 h, whereupon it was cooled to rt and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (500 mL) and the combined organic layers were washed with water, brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound (218 g, 98%) as a pale yellow solid. LCMS: m/z=399.0 (M+1). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 9.32 (d, J=3.2 Hz, 1H), 8.19 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.39-7.23 (m, 5H), 7.16 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 6.53 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 6.47 (dd, J=8.3, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 5.00-4.96 (m, 2H), 4.90 (dd, J=8.5, 5.8 Hz, 1H), 4.38 (d, J=14.5 Hz, 1H), 4.29 (d, J=14.5 Hz, 1H), 4.05 (dd, J=5.9, 3.3 Hz, 1H), 3.73 (s, 3H), 3.70 (s, 3H).
