Synthesis of Novel N-(4-Ethoxyphenyl) Azetidin-2-ones and Their Oxidative N-Deprotection by Ceric Ammonium Nitrate

It is shown that the N-(p-ethoxyphenyl) group on β-lactams can be oxidatively removed by ceric ammonium nitrate in good yield. Fourteen new N-(p-ethoxyphenyl)-2-azetidinones 8a-n were synthesized through standard [2+2] ketene-imine cycloadditions (Staudinger reaction). Treatment of these compound...
