Hydrochloric Acid → 7beta-[2-(2-Aminothiazol-4-yl)-2(cyclopropyloxyimino)acetamido]-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-1-yl)methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7β-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2(cyclopropyloxyimino)acetamido]-3-(1-pyridinio)methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid hydrogen sulfate (syn isomer) (3 g) in water (100 ml) was portionwise added sodium borohydride (1.9 g) under ice-cooling, keeping the pH of the reaction mixture at 6.5-7.0 with 1N hydrochloric acid. The mixture was stirred at the same condition for 2.5 hours. The mixture was adjusted to pH 2.5 with 6N hydrochloric acid and subjected to column chromatography on a non-ionic adsorption resin "Diaion HP-20" (90 ml). After the column was washed with water (630 ml), the elution was carried out with 20% methanol. The fractions containing the object compound were combined, concentrated in vacuo to about 100 ml, and lyophilized to give 7β-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2(cyclopropyloxyimino)acetamido]-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-1-yl)methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (syn isomer) (0.35 g).
