Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-t-butyldiphenylsilyloxy-1-{4-[3-(p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonylamino)-azetidine-1-carbonyl]-1,3-thiazol-2-yl}azetidine (640 mg, 0.976 mmol) (obtained as described in Reference Example 75(1)) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (32 ml) was added a solution of acetic acid (67 μl, 1.17 mmol) and 1.0 M tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran (1.17 ml, 1.17 mmol) in an ice bath and the mixture was stirred in an ice bath for 1.5 hours. After checking the completion of the reaction, the mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 10% aqueous sodium chloride solution. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column using methylene chloride:methanol (95:5→9:1) as the eluant to afford 3-hydroxy-1-{4-[3-(p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonylamino)azetidine-1-carbonyl]-1,3-thiazol-2-yl}azetidine (360 mg, yield 88%) as a white solid.
