Reaction Steps

A solution of 75 g of benzyl α-(3-carbomethoxy-7-oxo-4-oxa-2,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-yl)-α-isopropylideneacetate in 900 ml of tetrahydrofuran containing 5% water is mix with aluminium amalgam which has been prepared from 26.3 g of aluminium and 2.5% aqueous solution of mercuric chloride, and the mixture stirred under ice-cooling for 20 minutes. The reaction mixture is filtrated through Hyflo Super Cel, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with an aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen-carbonate and water, dried on sodium sulfate, concentrated and then mixed with ether. The resulting crystals are collected by filtration to yield 47.02 g of benzyl α-(3ξ-carbomethoxy-7-oxo-4-oxa-2,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-6-yl)-α-isopropylideneacetate in 62.4% yield.
