Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In water (30 ml) was dissolved 7β-amino-3-(3-oxobutyryloxy)methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (3.14 g) together-with sodium hydrogen carbonate (1.84 g) and 2-mercapto-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole (1.6 g) and the resultant solution was adjusted its pH to 6.4, followed by stirring for one hour at 60° C. After cooling, the reaction solution was washed with dichloromethane and pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted to 3.5 under ice-cooling, followed by stirring for one hour. The precipitated materials were collected by filtration and washed with water, methanol and acetone in this order, followed by drying to give 7β-amino-3-(2-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-5-yl)thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (2.9 g).
