Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-formyl-7β-(2-thienylacetamido)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (35 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (3 ml) is added a solution of O-methylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (13 mg) in water (1.5 ml), and the mixture is left standing for 24 hours. After evaporation of the tetrahydrofuran at room temperature, the separated yellow oil is extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract solution is washed with water, dried and evaporated to leave pale yellow foam which gives crystals of 3-methoxyiminomethyl-7β-(2-thienylacetamido)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (37 mg; nearly quantitative yield) by recrystallization from ether and ethyl acetate. m.p. 186°-189° C.
