Reaction Steps

0.10 g (0.28 mmol) [(6R,7S)-2-Fluoro-6-methyl-8-oxo-9-(2-oxo-ethyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5-oxa-9-aza-benzocyclohepten-7-yl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester in 4 ml tetrahydrofurane were reduced with 0.02 g (0.34 mmol) sodium borohydride. Chromatography on silicagel with ethylacetate/heptane 8:2 yielded 0.06 g (56%) [(6R,7S)-2-fluoro-9-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-6-methyl-8-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5-oxa-9-aza-benzocyclohepten-7-yl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester, MS m/e (%): 377.3 (M+Na+, 86), 355.2 (M+H+, 14), 255.3 (100).
