Abstract

A mild and efficient procedure for the selective cleavage of N-benzhydryl protecting group of β-lactams is described. The protected 2-azetidinones 4, precursors of carbapenems, were treated with a stoichiometric amount of N-bromosuccinimide and a catalytic amount of bromine under sun light irradiation in CH₂Cl₂-H₂O mixture at 20 °C for 3 hours. The N-benzhydrol intermediates 6, which could be isolated, were then hydrolyzed with p-TsOH in aqueous acetone to furnish β-lactams 7 and benzophenone quantitatively.

Key words

antibiotics - halogenation - protecting groups - benzhydryl derivatives - stable hemiaminals
