Reaction Steps

A solution of n-butyl lithium (0.46 ml of 1.38 M solution in hexane) was added to a solution of methyl 2-[(3R, 4R)-3-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2-oxo-4-allylazetidin-1-yl]-3-methylbut-2-enoate (150 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (3 ml) at -70° C. and the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes at -70° C. A solution of p-nitrobenzyl chloroformate (161 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (3.2 ml) was added to the reaction mixture at -70° C. and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes at -70° C. The mixture was allowed to warm to 0° C. during 30 minutes and stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 hours. Acetic acid (0.043 ml) was added to the mixture at 0° C. and the mixture was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (30 ml) and the solution was washed with brine, aqueous sodium bicarbonate, and brine. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (10 g) eluting with a mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate (10:1-3:1) to give methyl 3-methyl-2-[(3R,4R)-3-[1-methyl-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyloxy)ethyl]-2-oxo-4-allylazetidin-1-yl]but-2-enoate (123 mg) as an oil.
