m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 70594531, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (0.445 g) in chloroform (5 ml) was added to a solution of 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 3-bromo-3-methyl-7-(2-phenylacetamido)cepham-4-carboxylate (1.21 g) under stirring at -5° to -10° C., and the mixture was stirred for an hour at the same temperature. After the reaction, the reaction mixture was washed with 5% sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution and with water in turn and then dried. After the solvent was distilled off, the residue was crystallized by adding ether. Thus obtained crystals were recrystallized from ethanol to give 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 3-bromo-3-methyl-7-(2-phenylacetamido)cepham-4-carboxylate-1-oxide (1.10 g), mp 159° to 161° C.
