Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of (2-formyl-1-pyrryl)acetic acid (3.1 g, 0.02 m) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) is cooled to about 0° C. and 4.12 g (0.02 m) of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide is added in one portion with stirring for five minutes. Then 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-amino-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, tert-butyl ester (6.08 g, 0.02 m) in THF is added. The temperature is maintained at 0° C. for one hour and then the temperature is increased to 20° for about 18 hours and the solution filtered. The THF is removed at reduced pressure and the residue is taken up in ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate is extracted with 1.0% aqueous sodium bicarbonate and water. The ethyl acetate is then filtered, dried and evaporated to give the title compound.
