Reaction Steps

To a solution of (Z)-2-(5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)-2-(1-carboxy-1-methylethoxyimino)acetic acid (2.74 g) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (45 ml) were added methanesulfonyl chloride (1.15 g) and potassium bicarbonate (1.20 g) under cooling in an ice bath. The mixture was stirred for 2.5 hours at 5° C. and poured into a cold mixture of water (200 ml), ethyl acetate (200 ml) and 1N hydrochloric acid (6 ml). The mixture was stirred for 5 minutes under cooling in an ice bath. The organic layer was separated, washed with cold water (200mlx2) and with a cold saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. Toluene was added to the residue. To the mixture was added methylene chloride and the mixture was cooled for 10 minutes in an ice bath. The crystals were collected by filtration, washed with methylene chloride and air-dried to give methanesulfonyl (Z)-2-(5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)-2-(1-carboxy-1-methylethoxyimino)acetate (1.1 g).
