Participants

Reaction Steps

The solution of benzhydryl 7-[2-(6-aminopyridin-2-yl)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylmethoxyiminoacetamido]-3-ethylthio-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (syn isomer, 2.3 g) in trifluoroacetic acid (10 ml) and anisole (2 ml) was stirred for 2 hours at ambient temperature. The resultant solution was poured into diisopropyl ether (300 ml) and the precipitates were collected by filtration. The precipitates were dissolved in an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate (pH 7.5). The aqueous solution was washed with ethyl acetate and was adjusted to pH 2.3 with 10% hydrochloric acid. The precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with water and dried over phosphorus pentoxide under reduced pressure to give 7-[2-(6-aminopyridin-2-yl)-2-carboxymethoxyiminoacetamido]-3-ethylthio-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (syn isomer, 0.87 g), mp. 164° to 167° C. (dec.).
