Participants

Reaction Steps

7-(2-Thienyl)acetamido-3-(5-aminomethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (2.46 g.) was suspended in methylene chloride (100 ml.). To the suspension was added bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamido (4.06 g.) and the mixture was stirred to give a solution. To the solution was added methanesulfonyl chloride (1.15 g.) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hrs. The reaction mixture was added to 5% hydrochloric acid at 0°-5° C. White precipitates in the solution were collected by filtration, dried and then recrystallized with aqueous acetone to give 7-(2-thienyl)acetamido-3-(5-mesylaminomethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (910 mg.). m.p. 139°-145° C (dec.).
