N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide → (6R,7R)-7-[[(2Z)-2-(2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetyl]amino]-3-(iodomethyl)-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

7β-[(Z)-2-(2-Aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-acetoxymethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (977 mg) was suspended in methylene chloride (16 ml), followed by an addition of N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide (1350 μl). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. After ice-cooling, iodotrimethylsilane (810 μl) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the silylated derivative of 7β-[(Z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-iodomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid.
