Reaction Steps

To a solution of 43 mg (0.1 mmole) of trichloroethyl cis-7-t-butoxycarbonylamino-8-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylate in 6 ml of dimethylformamide and 6 ml of acetic acid is added over a 1.5 hr period 250 mg (3.8 mmole) zinc dust. The mixture is stirred vigorously for 3 hrs and then diluted with 50 ml of water. The mixture is acidified with dilute HCl, filtered and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is extracted with 5% NaHCO3 which is acidified and reextracted into ethyl acetate. The final extracts are washed with brine, dried, and evaporated to give cis-7-butoxycarbonylamino-8-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid.
