Reaction Steps

2.6 g of 1-(di-p-anisylmethyl)-3-(1-hydroxyethyl)-4-p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonylmethyl-2-azetidinone was dissolved in 15 ml of dried methylene chloride, and 1.22 g of 4-dimethylaminopyridine was added thereto. Under ice-cooling, a solution of 1.3 g of p-nitrobenzyl chloroformate in 7 ml of dried methylene chloride was added dropwise to the mixture, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. To the reaction mixture were added methylene chloride and water, and the methylene chloride layer was washed successively with a 1N hydrochloric acid aqueous solution, water, a 5% aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and water, and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to obtain 2.2 g of 1-(di-p-anisylmethyl)-3-(1-p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyloxyethyl)-4-p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonylmethyl-2-azetidinone.
