3-((Acetyloxy)methyl)-7-amino-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid → 3-[(Acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(azidomethyl)phenyl]acetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of p-azidomethylphenylacetyl chloride (1.38 g) and 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-amino-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid (1.38 g) in 250 ml of ethyl acetate was refluxed for 45 minutes. The solvent was removed under vacuum at 35° C. yielding a solid residue which was purified by chromotography using 200 g of silica gel eluting with benzene-acetone to give 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(azidomethyl)phenyl]acetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]-oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid. M.P. 135°-136° C.
