Reaction Steps

N-{[4-((2R,3R)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-{[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxoethyl]thio}-4-oxoazetidin-2-yl)phenoxy]acetyl}glycyl-D-valine (0.015 g, 0.023 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (3 ml). NABH4 (0.006 g, 0.158 mmol) was added and when the reaction was complete a few drops of acetic acid were added. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by preparative HPLC on a Kromasil C8-column using 25% MeCN in 0.1M ammonium acetate buffer as eluent. After freeze-drying, 0.014 g (93%) of the title product was obtained. NMR (500 MHz, CD3COOD) 0.93 (d, 3H), 0.95 (d, 3H), 2.12-2.22 (m, 1H), 2.91-3.07 (m, 2H), 3.75 (s, 1.5H), 3.76 (s, 1.5H), 3.94-4.06 (m, 3H), 4.33 (d, 1H), 4.60 (s, 2H), 4.72-4.78 (m, 1H), 4.81-4.88 (m, 1H), 6.79-6.83 (m, 2H), 6.97-7.08 (m, 4H), 7.20-7.36 (m, 6H).
