Triethylamine → 3-[(Acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(chloromethyl)phenyl]-2-aminoacetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid pivalyloxymethyl ester

Reaction Steps

p-Chloromethylphenylglycine wherein the amino group is protected with tert-butoxycarbonyl is treated with isobutyl chloroformate in the presenceof triethylamine. The thus obtained mixed anhydride is reacted with 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-amino-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid pivalyloxymethyl ester at 0° C. for about 4 hours. The resulting product is isolated, and the amine protecting group is removed by acid hydrolysis by treating the product with difluoroacetic acid for 5 minutes at room temperature to give 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(chloromethyl)phenyl]-2-aminoacetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid pivalyloxymethyl ester.
