When R' is hydrogen, the mixed carboxylicsulfonic acid anhydride is preferably used.
Depending on the values of R', R" and A, the compounds of formula IV may or may not be within the scope of the compounds of formula I. The compounds of formula IV are within the scope of formula I when R' is hydrogen, R" is not a hydroxyl protective group which is desired to be eliminated, for example 1-methoxyethyl and A is not among the easily cleavable ester groups, one of which are desired to be eliminated.
In the other cases, the compounds of formula IV may be subjected to at least one hydrolysis agent, hydrogenolysis or thiourea to remove R' when it is a protective amino group or to eliminate R" when it is different from R and/or to eliminate A when it is among the easily cleavable esters, one of which are desired to be removed.
It is also possible to eliminate R' without removing the R" and A substituents which are wished to be preserved. An example is when A is an ester group which is to be preserved such as propionyloxymethyl. The nature of the reactants in these cases are well known to one skilled in the art and are illustrated in the examples. The enumerations below are not intended to be exhaustive for the elimination of the different groups.

Chloroacetyl may be removed by reaction with thiourea in a neutral or acid medium by the reaction described by Masaki, J.A.C.S., Vol. 90 (1968), p. 4508. Other methods of removal of protective groups described in the literature may also be used.
Among the preferred groups of R' are formyl, acetyl, ethoxycarbonyl, mesyl, trifluoroacetyl, chloroacetyl and trityl with the last 2 being most preferred. The preferred acid used is trifluoroacetic acid.
The removal of A and R" when it is necessary may be effected under conditions similar for the removal of the R' groups. Acid hydrolysis is preferably used to remove optionally substituted alkyl or aralkyl groups and the preferred acids are hydrochloric acid, formic acid, trifluoroacetic acid and p-toluene sulfonic acid. Other values of A and R" may be removed, when desired, by methods known to one skilled in the art and the preferred conditions are moderate such as at room temperature or with slight heating.
Naturally when R' and A or R" are groups which are removable by different processes, the compounds of formula IV are subjected to reaction with a plurality of the above reagents or procedures.

The salification is preferably effected in a solvent or mixtures thereof such as water, ether, methanol, ethanol or acetone and the salts obtained are in either an amorphous form or crystalline form depending on the reaction conditions used. Crystalline salts are preferably prepared by reacting the free acids with salts of the aliphatic carboxylic acids mentioned above and especially with sodium acetate.
The formation of the non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts is effected in the usual manner by reacting approximately stoichiometric amounts of the free base and the acid.
The eventual esterification of the compounds of formula I may be effected in the classical manner, generally by reacting an acid of formula I with a compound of the formula Z-Re wherein Z is --OH or a halogen such as chlorine, bromine or iodine and Re is an ester group of the non-exhaustive list discussed above. In certain cases, it is advantageous to effect the esterification with a product having an amino group which is blocked before removing the amino protective group.
The optional resolution of the compounds of formula II or IV may be effected with an optically active organic carboxylic acid or organic sulfonic acid such as tartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, camphosulfonic acid or glutamic acid and then decomposing the resulting salt by reaction with a mineral base such as sodium bicarbonate or an organic base such as a tertiary amine like triethylamine. Also, one may optionally employ optically active base.

A solution of the resin of Step A in 4 ml of trifluoroacetic acid stood for 20 minutes and 40 ml of isopropyl ether were added thereto. The mixture was filtered and the filter was rinsed and evaporate to dryness. The product was taken up in 1.5 ml of a molar aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and activated carbon was added to the mixture. The mixture was vacuum filtered and the filter was rinsed with water. The product was added to 2 N hydrochloric acid to obtain a pH of 3 to 4 to obtain a precipitate and the mixture was vacuum filtered. The product was rinsed with water and dried to obtain a first yield of 78 mg of product. 2 N hydrochloric acid was added dropwise to the mother liquors and the mixture was vacuum filtered to obtain a semi-crystalline product which was washed and dried to obtain a second yield of 30 mg of product. The 2 yields were combined and homogenized to obtain 108 mg of syn isomer of (6 RS, 7RS) 7-[2-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)-2-carboxymethoxyimino-acetamido]-8-oxo-4-thia-1 -azabicyclo [4,2,0] oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid.
