2,2,2-Trichloroethyl 2-bromomethyl-2-methyl-6-(2-phenylacetamido)penam-3-carboxylate → 2,2,2-Trichloroethyl 2-(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thiomethyl-2-methyl-6-(2-phenylacetamido)-penam-3-carboxylate

Reaction Steps

5-Methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (0.16 g) was dissolved in a mixture of pH 6.5 phosphate buffer (5 ml) and acetone (10 ml). To this solution was added 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 2-bromomethyl-2-methyl-6-(2-phenylacetamido)penam-3-carboxylate (0.54 g) and the mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and acetone was distilled off and thereafter the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution and then with water and thereafter dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using chloroform as developing solvent to give oily 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 2-(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thiomethyl-2-methyl-6-(2-phenylacetamido)-penam-3-carboxylate (0.09 g) from the second and third fractions each of which was separated into about 30 ml.
