A novel rearrangement of 3-phenylacetamido-1-hydroxyazetidin-2-one
Abstract
Reaction of 3-phenylacetamido-1-hydroxyazetidin-2-one (3) with methyl dichlorophosphate followed by quenching with water and work-up provided the hydroxyimidazolidinone (4), the structure of which has been determined by X-ray crystallography.
