Reaction Steps

To a solution of a mixture of 803 g of t-butyl α-[6-amino-2-(1-naphthyl)-5-oxoperhydro-1,4-thiazepin-4-yl]acetate [prepared as described in step (g) above] and 1.13 g of ethyl 3-bromo-4-phenylbutyrate in 10 ml of dimethylformamide was added 0.66 g of sodium carbonate. The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 15 hours and then dissolved in a mixture of ethyl acetate and an aqueous solution of sodium chloride. The ethyl acetate layer was separated, washed with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was then evaporated off. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography using a 1:30 by volume mixture of ethyl acetate and methylene chloride as eluent, which separated the product into two isomers, A and B, (ascribed to the asymmetric carbon atom to which the phenethyl group is attached).
