Hydrochloric Acid → 3-[1-(2-carboxyethyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-yl]thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of sodium acetate trihydrate (5.97 g) in water (25 ml) was added to 7-[2-(2-propynyloxyimino)-2-{2-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetamido)thiazol-4-yl}acetamido]-3-[1-(2-carboxyethyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-yl]thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (syn isomer)(3.0 g) and the mixture was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was adjusted to pH 3 with 10% hydrochloric acid under ice-cooling and precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to give 7-[2-propynyloxyimino)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)acetamido]-3-[1-(2-carboxyethyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-yl]thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (syn isomer) (1.80 g).
