Abstract

Two solid-phase approaches, involving the base-assisted intramolecularalkylation of N-chloroacetyl-Phe derivatives anchored to appropriatesolid supports, were investigated for the preparation of novel β-lactams. When a BAL-type strategy was used, the resin-bound azetidinones were easily formed, as established by MAS-NMR, but final compounds could not be removed from the resin, unless a suitable two linkers system was used. In the second approach, in which the Phe residue is anchored to a Wang-type resin through the carboxylate group, the corresponding 1,4,4-trisubstituted 2-azetidinone was obtained in moderate to good yield and high purity.

  26. The benzyl-like group of BAL resin became more resistant to the acidic hydrolysis in our β-lactams than in other lactams (diketopiperazines) or amides. The presence of the electron-withdrawing group CO2R in position 4 could be responsible, at least in part, of the reduced lability to the acid media. The carboxylate group could attenuate the basicity of the amide carbonyl oxygen preventing debenzylation reaction, as previously found for a series of maleimide derivatives: Watson, D.J., Dwody, E.D., Li, W.-S., Wang, J., Polniaszek, R., Electronic effects in the acid-promoted deprotection of N-2,4-dimethoxybenzyl maleimides, Tetrahedron Lett., 42 (2001) 1827–1830.
