Trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride → 4-nitrobenzyl (5R,6R)-6-[1-methyl-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyloxy)ethyl]-3-(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-ylthio)-7-oxo-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-ene-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N,N-diisopropyl-N-ethylamine (0.0386 ml) in methylene chloride (0.347 ml) was added to a solution of 4-nitrobenzyl (2R,5R,6R)-3,7-dioxo-6-[1-methyl-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyloxy)ethyl]-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate (100 mg) and 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine (2.3 mg) in methylene chloride (5 ml) at -30° C. A solution of trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (0.0326 ml) in methylene chloride (0.293 ml) was then added thereto at -30° C. After the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for an hour, a solution of N,N-diisopropyl-N-ethylamine (0.129 ml) in methylene chloride (1.16 ml) and a solution of 1-methyl-1H-tetrazole-5-thiol (42.9 mg) in methylene chloride (2.15 ml) were added successively at -30° C. The mixture was stirred at -30° C. for 30 minutes and allowed to warm to ambient temperature over a period of 30 minutes. After stirring at ambient temperature for 2 hours, the mixture was allowed to stand at 4° C. for 2 days. After removal of the solvent, the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate. The solution was washed three times with water and an aqueous sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate and then evaporated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on deactivated silica gel with 10% water (2 g), eluting with a mixture of benzene and acetone (50:1 to 10:1) to give 4-nitrobenzyl (5R,6R)-6-[1-methyl-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyloxy)ethyl]-3-(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-ylthio)-7-oxo-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-ene-2-carboxylate (89 mg) as an oil.
