Abstract

An azetidin-2-one-4-sulfinic acid represented by the formula ##STR1## is reacted with Pb(OAc).sub.4 in liquid SO.sub.2 containing CuII ion to provide isomeric cyclization products of the formulas ##STR2## wherein R is e.g. benzyl, phenoxymethyl, benzyloxy, diphenylmethoxy, and R.sub.1 is a carboxy-protecting group. The products of the process are useful intermediates for 1-oxa-.beta.-lactam antibacterials.
