Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 189 mg of 6-amino-2,2-dimethyl-3-(1-[4-benzyloxybenzyl]tetrazol-5-yl)penam in 4 ml of chloroform, is added, at ambient temperature, 0.038 ml of pyridine followed by 0.057 ml of phenylacetyl chloride. Stirring is continued for a further 45 minutes, and then the reaction mixture is diluted with 25 ml of chloroform and then washed with water. The organic phase is dried using anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then evaporated in vacuo. The residue is 209 mg (86% yield) of 6-(2-phenylacetamido)-2,2-dimethyl-3-(1-[4-benzyloxybenzyl]tetrazol-5-yl)penam. The NMR spectrum (in CDCl3) shows absorptions at 7.50-6.70 ppm (multiplet, aromatic hydrogens), 6.4 ppm (doublet, amide hydrogen), 5.80-5.20 ppm (multiplet, benzyl hydrogens and C-5 and C-6 hydrogens), 5.10 ppm (singlet, C-3 hydrogen), 5.05 ppm (singlet, benzyl hydrogens), 3.60 ppm (singlet, phenylacetyl methylene hydrogens), 1.30 ppm (singlet, C-2 methyl hydrogens) and 0.85 ppm (singlet, C-2 methyl hydrogens).
