Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of tert-butyl (4R,6R,7R)-3-methylene-7-phenylacetamido-cepham-4-carboxylate (0.83 g, purity 93.7%, 2.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (80 ml) was cooled to 0° C. Titanium tetrachloride (0.66 ml, 6.0 mmol) was added in 1 min. After stirring for 4 h at 0° C., the suspension was mixed with a chilled 2 M solution of hydrochloric acid in. water (40 ml). The organic phase was separated and washed with a 1 M solution of hydrochloric acid in water (20 ml), water (20 ml), and brine (20 ml). The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated to give 0.40 g of (4R,6R,7R)-3-methylene-7-phenylacetamido-cepham-4-carboxylic acid (purity 75%, yield 45.1%).
