The enantioselective synthesis of various (3S)-trans-4-(substituted methyl)-2-oxoazetidine-1-sulphonic acid derivatives from 2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-glyceraldehyde is described.Reaction of this aldehyde with trimethylsilyl cyanide gave a 80:20 ratio of the corresponding threo and erythro α-amino-nitriles, which by amino protection and subsequent treatment with basic hydrogen peroxide provided the corresponding α-amino carboxamides.Successive selective protection, activation, sulphonation and, finally, stereospecific cyclization of the threo α-carboxamide yielded (2S,4R)-3-benzyloxycarbonylamino-4-hydroxymethyl-2-oxoazetidine-1-sulphonic acid, an intermediate for the synthesis of the corresponding 4-acyloxymethyl-, 4-carbamoyloxymethyl-, 4-methylsulphonyloxy-methyl-, 4-iodomethyl-, and 4-methyl-2-oxozetidines.

A novel synthesis of the monobactam 4, a precursor of the antibiotic carumonam (3), has been achieved via the epoxide methyl (2R,3S)-4-acetoxy-2,3-epoxybutyrate (10).The latter was prepared from calcium L-threonate in three steps and 85percent overall yield.In a related study, ethyl (2R,3S)-4-hydroxy-2,3-epoxybutyrate (17) was prepared from L-(+)-tartaric acid in 45percent overall yield.Treatment of the sodium salt derived from 10 or 17 with ammonia led to a stereo- and regiospecific opening of the oxirane ring to give 20, after esterification, amide formation, and protection of the amino group.Conversion of 20 into 4 was accomplished by selective protection of the primary hydroxy group with chloroacetyl chloride, mesylation, sulfonation with 2-picoline-SO3, and ring closure with potassium bicarbonate.
