To prepare the compound (1'R,3S)-3-(1'-tri-substituted silyloxyethyl)azetidin-2-one, (2S,3R)-2-aminomethyl-3-hydroxybutyric acid is reacted with an alcohol in the presence of at least one compound chosen from the group consisting of thionyl chloride, hydrogen chloride and p-toluene sulfonic acid, thereby obtaining a salt of the corresponding ester. The salt is reacted with a tri-substituted silane in the presence of a metallic catalyst, thereby protecting the hydroxy group of the ester and then reacted with a base, thereby obtaining an ester of (2S,3R)-2-aminomethyl-3-(tri-substituted silyloxy)butyric acid. Subsequently, the ester is transformed into lactam in the presence of a Grignard reagent or a metal amide, thereby obtaining (1'R,3S)-3-(1'-tri-substituted silyloxyethyl)azetidin-2-one. This compound provides a useful base for preparing beta -lactam type antimicrobial agents such as carbapenem type agents.
