Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 131716529, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 7β-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2(difluoromethoxyimino)acetamido]-3-[3-formamido-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-pyrazolio]methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (syn isomer) (0.7 g) in methanol (3.5 ml) was added concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.42 ml) at ambient temperature. After being stirred at the same temperature for 2 hours, the mixture was poured into ethyl acetate. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration. The precipitate was dissolved in water, and adjusted to pH 2 with 5% aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. This solution was subjected to a column chromatography on macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin "Diaion HP20". The object compound was eluted with 10% diisopropyl alcohol, and lyophilized to give 7β-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(difluoromethoxyimino)acetamido]-3-[3-amino-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-pyrazolio]methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (syn isomer) (0.41 g).
