Stereochemistry in borohydride reduction of 7-imino-cephems: An improved method for conversion of the 7α-amino- 1-oxa(thia)cephems into the 7β-amino isomers

Sodium cyanoborohydride in methanol containing hydrogen chloride (pH ~3) proved to be an excellent reagent system for smooth and highly stereo-selective reduction of the 7-imino-1-oxa(thia)cephems 6 or their equivalent 7-methoxy amines 8 to the correspond

PRACTICAL PROCEDURE FOR EPIMERIZATION OF 7α-AMINO-1-OXACEPHEMS TO 7β-AMINO EPIMERS

7α-Amino-1-oxacephems can be epimerized to their 7β-amino epimers by treatment with chloral to give Schiff bases, followed by dehydrochlorination with Huenig base, borohydride reduction, and hydrolysis.
