Sodium Iodide → Benzhydryl 7beta-[2-cyclopropyloxyimino-2-(2-formamidothiazol-4-yl)acetamido]-3-(4-carbamoyl-1-pyridinio)methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate 1-oxide iodide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of benzhydryl 7β-[2-cyclopropyloxyimino-2-(2-formamidothiazol-4-yl)acetamido]-3-chloromethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate 1-oxide (syn isomer) (2.5 g) and sodium iodide (3.4 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 ml) was stirred at ambient temperature for 30 minutes. To the mixture was added isonicotinamide (0.91 g) under ice-cooling and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours at the same temperature. The mixture was poured into diisopropyl ether to give an oil. The oil was separated by decantation and triturated with water. The solid was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, dried over magnesium sulfate, concentrated under reduced pressue, and triturated in diisopropyl ether to give benzhydryl 7β-[2-cyclopropyloxyimino-2-(2-formamidothiazol-4-yl)acetamido]-3-(4-carbamoyl-1-pyridinio)methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate 1-oxide iodide (syn isomer) as a solid.
