It was found that (2 + 2) cycloaddition reaction of diketene with Schiff bases was effectively promoted by imidazole as a catalyst to afford 3-acetyl-2-azetidinone derivatives 4. As an application of this new method, a practical asymmetric synthesis of 4 and its conversion into (3S,4S)-4-carboxy-1-(di-p-anisylmethyl)-3-[(R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-2-azeti dinone, which is a key intermediate for the synthesis of carbapenem and penem antibiotics, were accomplished.

A highly efficient synthesis of (3R,4R)-4-acetoxy-3-[(R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-2-azetidinone, which is a key intermediate for the synthesis of carbapenem and penem antibiotics, was accomplished. It was found that oxymercuration-reduction of easily obtainable 4-alkyloxycarbonyl-1-(di-p-anisylmethyl)-3-ethenyl-2-azetidinone could be employed as a key stereoselective reaction. The chiral starting material was obtained by optical resolution or asymmetric (2 + 2) cycloaddition. The desired product was afforded in four steps, that is, oxymercuration-reduction, oxidative decarboxylation, protection of the hydroxy group and removal of the N-protecting group.
