2-Oxazolidone, 3- Reformatsky reaction stereoselectivity

Stereoselective Reformatsky reaction. The Reformatsky reaction of the chiral 2-azetidinone 1 with 3-(2-bromopropionyl)-2-oxazolidone (2a) gives essentially a 1 1 mixture of the diastereomers 3a(3 and 3aa. However, introduction of two methyl groups at C4 in 2 markedly improves the (i-diastereoselectivity, as does an increase in the temperature from 0 to 67° (reflux, THF). The highest diastereoselectivity (95 5) is observed with the derivative of 4,4-dibutyl-5,5-pentamethylene-2-oxa-zolidone. The 3p-diastereomer is a useful intermediate to lp-methylcarbapenems.1...
