Reaction Steps

To a freshly prepared solution of 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 1-hydroxy-2-methylcarbapen-2-em-3-carboxylate in methylene chloride, prepared from 100 mg. (0.317 mmole) of the 1-beta-oxide by Examples 11 and 12) was added 24 microl. (0.317 mmole) of pyridine, 29 microl. (0.317 mmole) of acetic anhydride and 4 mg. of 4-dimethylaminopyridine. Infrared spectral analysis indicated clean conversion to the desired acetate. Following water wash and drying, evaporation to dryness gave 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 1-acetoxy-2-methylcarbapen-2-em-3-carboxylate [ir (CH2Cl2) 1780, 1725, 1700 cm-1 ; Rf 0.7-0.75 (4:1 chloroform:ethyl acetate].
