Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-[2-(2-amino-thiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyimino-acetamido]-2-benzhydryloxycarbonyl-8-oxo-3-(2-tosyloxyvinyl)-5-thia-1-aza-bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene (syn isomer, E-form) (0.35 g), formic acid (10 cc) and water (3 cc) is stirred at 50° C. for 30 minutes. Water (8 cc) is then added, and the mixture is filtered and concentrated to dryness at 30° C. under 0.05 mm Hg (0.007 kPa). The residue is taken up in ethanol (2×20 cc), and in each case the mixture is concentrated to dryness at 20° C. under 20 mm Hg (2.7 kPa). The solid obtained is triturated in diethyl ether (20 cc). After filtration and drying, 7-[2-(2-amino-thiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyimino-acetamido]-2-carboxy-8-oxo-3-(2-tosyloxyvinyl)-5-thia-1-aza-bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene (syn isomer, E-form) (0.12 g) is obtained in the form of a yellow powder.
