Participants

Reaction Steps

68 g of ethyl 2-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)-2-[(Z)-[[(hexahydro-1H-azepin-1-yl)carbonyl]methoxy]imino]-acetate are dissolved in 2.5 l of methanol and 250 ml of water and the solution is treated with 220 ml of 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The methanol is removed under reduced pressure after 48 hours. The aqueous solution is washed with ethyl acetate and treated with 220 ml of 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid. The acid which crystallizes out is filtered off and dried. There are obtained 51 g of 2-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)-2-[(Z)-[[(hexahydro-1H-azepin-1-yl)carbonyl]methoxy]imino]-acetic acid of melting point 178°-179° C.
