Procedure

A solution of 0.78 g (2 mmol) of benzhydryl 7-amino-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (South African Pat. No. 71/06719), 0.35 g (2 mmol) of trifluoromethylsulfinylacetic acid and 0.4 g (2 mmol) of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in dry tetrahydrofuran (15 ml) is stirred at room temperature overnight. The precipitate is collected and washed with tetrahydrofuran and the combined filtrate and washings are evaporated in vacuo. The residue is treated with a cold solution of trifluoroacetic acid (10 ml) and anisole (0.5 g) for 15 minutes and then concentrated in vacuo. The residue is dissolved in ethyl acetate and treated with 5 percent aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The aqueous phase is adjusted to pH 2 and the precipitated product is collected and dried.
