Reaction Steps

To a solution of 8.75 g of 6-[1-(R)-phenylethyl]-8-hydroxyimino-5-oxo-6-azaspiro[3.4]octane in 300 ml of methanol there was added 26 ml of Raney nickel, and reduction was carried out under a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 14.5 hr. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. By the same procedure, 1.65 g of 6-[1-(R)-phenylethyl]-8-hydroxyimino-5-oxo-6-azaspiro-[3.4]octane 6-[1-(R)-phenylethyl]-8-hydroxyimino-5-oxo-6-azaspiro [3.4] octane was reduced using 5 ml of Raney nickel. The crude products were combined and purified by column chromatography using a column containing 380 g of silica gel. From a fraction of an eluant of 1% (v/v) methanolic chloroform, 3.2 g of the less polar isomer of the titled compound was obtained and 1.8 g of the more polar isomer thereof along with 4.4 g of a mixture of the two isomers.
