Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 7β-[(Z)-2-(2-t-butoxycarbonylaminothiazol-4-yl)-2-trityloxyiminoacetamido]-3-(1,2,3-triazol-4-yl) thiomethylthio-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid diphenylmethyl ester (9.2 g: 9 mMol.) in a mixture of anisole (18 ml) and nitromethane (72 ml) is added dropwise a solution of aluminum chloride (9.6 g: 72 mMol.) in anisole (31 ml) at -30° C. After stirring for 1 hour at the same temperature, the reaction mixture is quenched with ethanol (25 ml), stirred for several minutes, diluted with 1N-hydrochloric acid (75 ml) and water (500 ml), and washed with ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was separated, concentrated to remove the organic solvents, and passed through a column of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer adsorbent. The product is eluted with a mixture of methanol and water (4:1) to give 7β-[(Z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-hydroxyiminoacetamido]-3-(1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)thiomethylthio-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid as pale yellow powder (4.19 g). Yield: 90%.
