Reaction Steps

[7-{2-(2-Formamidothiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido}-4-benzhydryloxycarbonyl-3-cephem-3-yl]methyltriphenylphosphonium chloride (syn isomer) (5.33 g) was dissolved in a mixture of acetone (60 ml) and water (10 ml), and the solution was adjusted to pH 11 with 2N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, followed by extraction three times with ethyl acetate (100 ml). The extract was washed with an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then evaporated to dryness to give a residue, which was pulverized with diethyl ether to obtain benzhydryl 7-[2-(2-formamidothiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-triphenylphosphoranylidenemethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (syn isomer) (3.7 g).
