Hydrochloric Acid → 7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(2-aminoethoxyimino)acetamido]-3-[(2-aminoethyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-yl]thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid trihydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Conc. hydrochloric acid (3.2 g.) was added to a solution of 7-[2-(2-formamidothiazol-4-yl)-2-(2-tert-butoxycarbonylaminoethoxyimino)acetamido]-3-[1-(2-tert-butoxycarbonylaminoethyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-yl]thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (syn isomer, 3.5 g.) in methanol (50 ml.) and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After removing the solvent in vacuo, methanol was added to the residue. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo again. The precipitates were collected by filtration and washed with diethyl ether to give 7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(2-aminoethoxyimino)acetamido]-3-[1-(2-aminoethyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-yl]thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid trihydrochloride (syn isomer, 2.8 g.).
