Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Thiourea (377 mg) and sodium acetate (406 mg) were added to a solution of 2-methoxyimino-3-oxo-4,4-dibromobutyric acid (syn isomer, 500 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) and water (5 ml), and the solution was stirred at 30° C. for 4 hours. The solution was adjusted to pH 3.5, concentrated under reduced pressure and allowed to stand at 0° C. overnight. The precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to give 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetic acid (syn isomer, 135 mg).
