Procedure

Substantially pure benzyl clavulanate (281 mg) in ethanol (25 ml.) containing sodium hydrogen carbonate (82 mg.) was hydrogenated over 10% Pd/C (90 mg.) for 25 minutes at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The catalyst was filtered off, washed with water and ethanol, and the combined filtrates evaporated under reduced pressure at room temperature. The residual semi-solid was triturated with acetone, filtered and washed with ether to yield sodium clavulanate (135 mg.).
