Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 2-(2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonylmethoxyimino)-4-chloro-3-oxobutyrate (20 g), thiourea (3.9 g) and sodium acetate (4.2 g) in ethanol (50 ml) and water (50 ml) was stirred at 40° C. for 5 hours. After removal of the solvent from the reaction mixture, the residue was triturated with diisopropyl ether. The precipitates were collected by filtration and washed with diisopropyl ether to give ethyl 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonylmethoxyimino)acetate (syn isomer) (10.6 g), mp 138°-141° C.
