Abstract
H-1 NMP (500 MHz) analyses repeal that in phosphate buffer, N-arylsulfonyl beta-lactams such as ethyl N-(p-nitrophenylsulfonyl)-2-oxoazetidine-4-carboxylate and (4S)-ethyl 3-ethyl-N-(p-nitrophenylsulfonyl)-2-oxoazetidine-4-carboxylate undergo hydrolysis through (minimally) two mechanisms: via direct hydrolysis and via an unstable acyl phosphate intermediate, The acyl phosphate intermediates can be trapped using hydrazine.
