To optimize and determine the reaction conditions for synthesis 2-azetidinones using microwave technique, we attempted the reaction between 2-[1-(2-Chloro-4-iodo-phenylimino)ethyl]-4-iodo-naphthalen-1-ol and monochloroacetyl chloride in presence of [Et.sub.3]N using 2-methoxyethanol. The reaction went to completion within 4.3 min and corresponding product 2g was obtained in 90% yield.
