Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 178511066, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Conc. hydrochloric acid (20.8 g.) was added to a mixture of 7-[2-(2-formamidothiazol-4-yl)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylmethoxyiminoacetamido]-3-[1-(3-tert-butoxy-carbonylaminopropyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-ylthiomethyl)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (syn isomer, 39.1 g.) in methanol (400 ml.), and stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. After removing the solvent in vacuo, tetrahydrofuran (40 ml.) and anisole (40 ml.) were added to the residue and stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was added to ethyl acetate at room temperature. The precipitates were collected by filtration and washed with ethyl acetate to give 7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-carboxymethoxyiminoacetamido]-3-[1-(3-aminopropyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-ylthiomethyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (a mixture of syn and anti isomers). The product was subjected to column chromatography on macroporous nonionic adsorption resin "HP-20" (trademark, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Industries Co.) to give the syn isomer of the objective compound.
