7-Aminodeacetoxycephalosporanic acid → Cephalosporanic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

7-Amino desacetoxy cephalosporanic acid (7-ADCA) and 7-aminocephalosporonic acid (7-ACA) are known to be the most important intermediates for the production of antibiotics used in the pharmaceutical industry. 7-ADCA is for example obtained by chemical or enzymatic cleavage (deacylation) of phenylacetyldesacetoxy cephalosporanic acid yielding 7-amino desacetoxy cephalosporanic acid and phenyl acetic acid.
