Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 2-methyl-2,3-methylene-6-{2-(2-thienyl)acetamido}penam-3-carboxylate (1.74 g.) in dried dichloromethane (20 ml.) was dropwise added at -15° C. to a solution of aluminum bromide (2.14 g.) in dried dichloromethane (10 ml.) and the mixture was stirred for 4 hours at room temperature. After the reaction, the reaction mixture was washed in turn with 5% hydrochloric acid, water, 5% sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution and water and then dried. After the solvent was distilled off, the residue (powder) was recrystallized from ethanol to give 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 2-methyl-7-{2-(2-thienyl)acetamido}-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (1.46 g.), mp 161° to 162° C. (dec.).
