Sulfur Dioxide → (6S)-4-Nitrobenzyl 3-hydroxy-8-oxo-7-(N-phenylacetamido)-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following the ozonization procedures described in Example 9, a solution of 350 mg. of p-nitrobenzyl 7-phenylacetamido-3-methylenecepham-4-carboxylate in 250 ml. of methylene chloride was cooled to -78°C. and was ozonized. The intermediate ozonide was decomposed in situ with sulfur dioxide and the reaction product was recovered and obtained crystalline by extraction with ethyl acetate.
