Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 131713205, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of benzhydryl 7-[2-(3-tert-butoxycarbonylpropoxyimino)-2-(2-formamidothiazol-4-yl)acetamido]-3-vinyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (syn isomer) (3.5 g), conc. hydrochloric acid (1.0 g), methanol (30 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (15.0 ml) was stirred at ambient temperature for 2.5 hours. To the reaction mixture was added ethyl acetate, followed by adjusting to pH 7.5 with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The separated organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride and then dried over magnesium sulfate. Removal of the solvent gave a residue, which was pulverized with diisopropyl ether to obtain benzhydryl 7-[2-(3-tert-butoxycarbonylpropoxyimino)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)acetamido]-3-vinyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (syn isomer) (3.33 g).
