Phosphate → (5R,6S)-6-((1R)-1-hydroxyethyl)-2-(imidazo[5,1-b]thiazol-3-yl)-1-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 203 mg of 4-nitrobenzyl (5R,6S)-6-((1R)-1-hydroxyethyl)-2-(imidazo[5,1-b]thiazol-3-yl)-1-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylate in 4 ml of THF and 4 ml of 1/15 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) was added 152 mg of 10% Pd-C. The reactor was purged with hydrogen, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The catalyst was collected by filtration on Celite, and washed with water. The filtrate was washed with ethyl acetate, and then the aqueous layer was purified by column chromatography on DIAION HP-20, followed by crystallization form 1 ml of water to give 32.8 mg of the title compound.
