Popis: Esters of the title compound have been obtained by rearrangement of aroyl penicillanoyl peroxides, followed by decarboxylation. Certain of the aroyl esters so produced have been epimerised at position 6 with selected secondary amines. Conditions for the liberation of the title alcohol from some of its aroyl esters have been established. Thus, the 2,4-dinitrobenzoate can either be photohydrolysed, by irradiation in aqueous tetrahydrofuran, or reduced with sodium borohydride. o-Nitrobenzoate is a potentially useful protecting group for alcohols and phenols since the group can be removed in high yield by reduction with zinc dust and ammonium chloride; the alcohol is liberated with formation of 2,1-benzisoxazolin-3-one. In this manner the title alcohol was obtained from its o-nitrobenzoate in 95% yield.
