Abstract
Reaction of a 3-oxazolininyl-4-hydroxymethylazetidin-2-one with excess NaOMe in refluxing methanol gives the corresponding 4-oxa-1,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonan-5,9-dione stereospecifically in nearly quantitative yield via a novel skeletal rearrangement, which includes a gamma-lactone as a key-intermediate; Possible mechanisms and similar rearrangement in a related system is discussed.
