Reaction Steps

4-Methoxybenzyl (RS)-2-hydroxy-2-[(lR,5R)-3-benzyl-4-thia-2,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-7-on-6-yl]acetate (4.103 g) in dichloromethane (15ml) and acetone (15 ml) was ring opened with 4-toluenesulphonic acid hydrate (3.33 g) in water (8 ml) and coupled to (R)-2-bromoacetyltetrahydrofuran (2.11 g) in acetone (20 ml) with potassium carbonate (0.687 g) as described in Example 6(b) for the diastereoisomeric mixture. After purification by flash chromatography, the title compound was obtained as a yellow gum (2.618 g, 49%); [α]D -10.7 (c 1.00 CHCl3).
