Triethylamine → HCID 12795449, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5 ml of triethylamine are added to a solution of 12 g of 2-[(4R)-4-(benzthiazol-2-yldithio)-2-oxoazetidin-1-yl]-3-methylenebutyric acid methyl ester in 500 ml of methylene chloride and the mixture is allowed to stand at room temperature for 90 minutes. The reaction mixture is washed with 5% aqueous citric acid solution, dried over sodium sulphate and freed of solvent in vacuo. The residue is purified by chromatography over silica gel (deactivated with 10% water) with toluene and toluene/ethyl acetate (19:1) and yields the title compound, which after recrystallization from diethyl ether/pentane has a melting point of 63°-66°.
