Procedure

To 10 ml of nitromethane were added 3.0 g of 7-ACA, 10.0 g of zinc chloride and 3.9 g of a complex of boron trifluoride with methanol (boron trifluoride content: 51%). The mixture was heated at 60° C. for 20 min to advance a reaction. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled to 5° C. To the reaction mixture were added 30 ml of water and 5 ml of methanol. Then, the mixture was adjusted to pH 8.0 with 28% aqueous ammonia at a temperature of -5° C. The resulting precipitate was filtered off, and then washed with water. The filtrate was combined with the washings. The resulting mixture was adjusted to pH 3.5 with 36% hydrochloric acid to thereby form a precipitate. The precipitate was collected by filtration, and washed with 10 ml of cold water and, then, with 20 ml of cold methanol to obtain the desired product, namely 7-amino-3-methoxymethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid. The amount of the desired product was 1.4 g. The yield of the desired product was 52%.
