โฆ Synopsis
Enantiomers of 3-methylazetidin-2-one -(3R)-(+)-and (3S)-(-)-1 and of 3-amino-2methylpropionic acid -(2R)-(-)-and (2S)-(+)-2 were obtained from corresponding diastereomers of methyl (ty.S)-N-t~-methylbenzyl-3-amino-2-methylpropionate 3A,B which had been separated by recrystallization of their salts 4A,B with p-toluenesulfonic acid. The absolute configurations of azetidinones (+)-and (-)-1 and their diastereomeric precursors, i.e. amino esters 3A,B, (tyS)-N-et-methylbenzyl-3-amino-2-methylpropionic acids 5A,B, and (~S)-N-t~-methylbenzyl-3methylazetidin-2-ones 6A,B were established by conversion of (+)-1 to amino acid (2R)-(-)-2 and of amino acid (2S)-(+)-2 to (-)-1.
