Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.843 g (1.7 mmole) of 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 3-hydroxymethyl-7-phenylacetamido-3-cephem-4-carboxylate-1-oxide in 50 ml of acetone at 0° is added over the period of about 2 min. 0.450 ml of 8N CrO3 in H2SO3 and the mixture is stirred at 0° for 5 min., then poured into a mixture of 300 ml ethyl acetate - 300 ml water and the ethyl acetate layer washed with water, dried (MgSO4), and evaporated in vacuo. The residue when chromatographed on silica gel with CHCl3 gives 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 3-formyl-7-phenylacetamido-3-cephem-4-carboxylate-1-oxide.
