The protocol involves the in situ tosylation of β-ketoxime-1H-tetrazoles followed by the Neber reaction, in the presence of chiral organocatalysts. Among the organocatalysts studied a novel thiourea catalyst derived from 6β-aminopenicillanic acid afforded excellent enantioselectivities.

The mixture was stirred for 48 h at the appropriate temperature. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the crude reaction was dissolved in ethyl acetate (20 mL) and washed with water (3 × 10 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and filtered, and the solvent was evaporated under vacuum. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane, 1:1). The characterization data for 7, 14a, and 14b agreed with those previously reported.19 22a Barrulas PM. C. Dissertation. University of Évora; Portugal: 2014 22b Barrulas P, Benaglia M, Burke AJ.
