Reaction Steps

The product of Example 6B (69 kg, 20 mol) in acetone (420 kg)/water (960 kg) was adjusted to pH 8.0 using 1N sodium hydroxide. Alcalase™ (Novo Industries, Denmark) (Subtilisin Carlsberg) (6.9 liters) was added and the pH was maintained between 7.9 and 8.4 by the addition of 1N sodium hydroxide. When 80% of the theoretical amount of sodium hydroxide had been consumed, the reaction was quenched by the addition of ethyl acetate. The reaction mixture was concentrated to half the original volume under reduced pressure and then washed with ethyl acetate (2×700 kg). The volume of the aqueous phase was concentrated by half and the pH adjusted to 5.2. The reaction mixture was treated with XAD-16 resin (50 kg), stirred for 18 hours, and applied to an XAD-16 resin column (50 kg). The column was eluted with water (500 kg) and then 35% ethanol in water (1000 kg) to afford a residue which was treated with isopropanol (270 kg) and warmed to 75° C. Upon cooling to ambient temperature and subsequently to -5° C., crystalline material was obtained. The solid was removed by filtration, washed with cold isopropanol (30 kg) and dried at 50° C. to afford the title compound (13 kg, 49%). MS (DCI/NH3) m/e 327 (M+H)+. This compound can be recrystallized from 1:1 isopropanol/water.
