Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7β-[2-(2-amino-5-chloro-4-thiazolyl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-chloro-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid diphenylmethyl ester (180 mg) in dichloromethane (5 ml) are added zinc powder (120 mg) and acetic acid (1 ml), and the mixture is stirred at -10° C. for 10 minutes. The reaction mixture is filtered, poured into iced water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract solution is washed with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and water, dried and concentrated. Conventional work-up of obtained residue affords 7β-[2-(2-amino-5-chloro-4-thiazolyl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid diphenylmethyl ester. Similarly prepared are compounds of Table 1.
