- Oxalyl chloride (2.68ml) was added to a stirred mixture of 2,3-dihydro-2-benzofurancarboxylic acid (3.28g) and dichloromethane (48ml). Dimethyl- formamide (2 drops) was added and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 50 min. and then at reflux for a further 10 min. The solvent was evaported and chloroform was evaporated from the residue twice. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (200ml) and the solution cooled in an ice bath. A stream of diazomethane in argon was then passed into the solution until all the acid chloride was consumed, and then air was passed through the solution to remove excess diazomethane.
- dichloromethane (7.5ml) was added. The mixture was stirred at -20°C for a further 5 min. and then sodium citrate solution (4.95ml of 0.5M) was added and the mixture vigorously stirred for a further 10 min. The aqueous phase was separated, washed twice with dichloromethane, and evaporated. The product was purified by column chromatography (HP 20SS, water with increasing proportions of acetone as eluent). Fractions containing product were combined and evaporated.
- Methanesulphonyl chloride (7 ⁇ l, 0.090mmol) was added to 2-(2-thiazol-4-yl)-2-(Z)-methoxyiminoacetic acid (19mg, 0.095mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (16 ⁇ l, 0.092mmol) in DMF (2ml) at -30°C.
- Aluminium chloride 22mg, 0.17mmol was added to anisole (0.9ml) and dry dichloromethane (0.5ml) at -20°C and stirred for 15min. The temperature of the cooling bath was then lowered to -40°C before addition of 4-methoxybenzyl (6R,7S)-7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(Z)-methoxy-iminoacetamido]-3-[(2S)-2,3-dihydrobenzofi ⁇ ran-2-yl]-1-carba-1-dethiaceph-3-em-4-carboxylate (33mg,
