Sodium Bicarbonate → Sodium 2-amino-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of p-nitrobenzyl 2-azido-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylate (3.3 mg, 10 micromol) in dioxane (300 microliter), deionized water (180 microliter), absolute ethanol (25 μl), and aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (20 microliter of 0.5M) was shaken with 10% palladium on charcoal (3.3 mg) under hydrogen (50 psig) at ambient temperature for 40 min. The mixture was centrifuged and the pellet was washed with deionized water (3×0.3 ml). The combined supernates were extracted with ethyl acetate (3×0.4 ml) and lyophilized to provide sodium 2-amino-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylate.
