then stirred for 2 h after which time TLC indicated complete
enamine hydrolysis and still an essentially one-component
system. The solution was evaporated to dryness in vacuo,
the residual oil dissolved in chloroform (30 mL), and this
solution washed with brine (2£5 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and
again evaporated to yield 545 mg of the crude bromo-enol

The enol 73 (545 mg) and potassium acetate (392 mg,
4.0 mmol) were dissolved in dimethylformamide (5 mL)
to which one drop of water was added. After stirring at
room temperature for 1.5 h, a new major component in
the reaction mixture was detected by TLC. The solution
was then diluted with ethyl acetate (25 mL), and the result-
ing mixture washed with brine (2£15 mL), and dried
(Na2SO4) and evaporated to afford 410 mg of the crude
isocephem as an oil. Preparative thick layer chromatography
of this crude product yielded a pure isocephem (230 mg,
55.0% of dimesylate 70) as an oil. IR (Neat): 3000±2850,
