Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 240 mg of diphenylmethyl (2R)-2-(3-phenyl-7-oxo-4-oxa-2,6-diazabicyclo[3,2,0]hept-2-en-6-yl)-3-trifluoroacetyloxymethyl-3-butenoate in 10 ml of a mixture (4:1) of methanol and methylene chloride is added 4.8 g of silica gel containing 10% water, and the mixture stirred for 30 minutes and filtered. The filter cake, silica gel, is washed several times with a mixture of methanol and methylene chloride. The combined filtrate and washings are evaporated under reduced pressure. The oily residue is chromatographed on 12 g of silica gel. Elution with a mixture (2:1) of benzene and ethyl acetate yields 106 mg of diphenylmethyl (2R)-2-(3-phenyl-7-oxo-4-oxa-2,6-diazabicyclo[3,2,0]hept-2-en-6-yl)-3-hydroxymethyl-3-butenoate in 53% yield and 90 mg of the starting material in 35% recovery.
