Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5.3 g of benzylpenicillin-S-sulphoxide, 50 g of N-acetylsuccinimide, 12.5 ml of N-trimethylsilylsuccinimide and 35 ml of benzene was refluxed for 16 hours. The reaction mixture (containing 1-(1-trimethylsilyloxycarbonyl-2-methylprop-2-enyl)-3-phenylacetamido-4-succinimidothio-azetidin-2-one) was then allowed to cool to room temperature, diluted with benzene (200 ml), treated with decolourizing charcoal, and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using 5% acetic acid in ethyl acetate as eluent. The fractions containing the major component of the original residue were combined, evaporated to dryness and the residue triturated with diethyl ether. The precipitate was chromatographed a second time to obtain 1-(1-carboxy-2-methylprop-2-enyl)-3-phenylacetamido-4-succinimidothioazetidin-2-one in a pure state. The structure was confirmed by PMR and IR spectroscopy.
