Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A stirred slurry of 0.38 g (0.02 mole) of 60% sodium hydride as a mineral oil suspension in 10 ml of dry dimethylformamide was treated under nitrogen with the dropwise addition of 1.12 g (0.01 mole) of 3-fluorophenol in 20 ml of dimethylformamide. After 1 hr, the mixture was heated at 90° C. for 20 min then 2.1 g (0.01 mole) of N-methyl-3-[(methanesulfonyl)oxy]-1-azetidinecarboxamide was added as a solid. The reaction mixture was then stirred at 90° C. for 8 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled by adding ice water then further diluted to 200 ml with water and extracted with 3×50 ml of methylene chloride. Less than 1 g of oil was obtained upon concentrations of the extracts. Extraction with 4×50 ml of benzene gave only a trace of product. The mass spectrum (CI) showed the expected p+1 at 225 m/e. The product solidified on standing and was recrystallized from methanol/water to yield 650 mg (29.0%) of flake-like silver crystals, m.p. 156°-158° C.
