Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-hydroxymethyl-4-(2-trimethylsilylethynyl)-2azetidinone (250 g) in dichloromethane (6.5 L) was added vinyl acetate (350 ml) and Lipase PS (trademark; Amano Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) (190 g). The mixture was warmed to 37° C. and stirred for 32 hours. Catalyst was filtered off and washed with dichloromethane. Solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography eluting with (n-hexane:EtOAc=8:2 to 0:1) to give (R)-N-hydroxymethyl-4-(2-trimethylsilylethynyl)-2-azetidinone (192 g).
