Acetic Acid → HCID 70526346, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetic acid (1.6 ml) and zinc powder (1.2 g) were added under stirring and ice-cooling to a solution of 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 2-methyl-7-[N-tert.-butoxycarbonyl-2-(2-thienyl)glycyl]amino-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (1.52 g) in anhydrous dimethylformamide (10 ml), and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at the same temperature. After the reaction, zinc powder was filtered off, and the filtrate was poured into an ice-cooled mixture of 2 to 3% hydrochloric acid and ethyl acetate and then extracted. The extract was washed with water, extracted with a sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution, after which the aqueous layer was acidified by adding 5% sulfuric acid and ethyl acetate and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, followed by distilling off the solvent under reduced pressure. The residue was pulverized by adding isopropyl ether, collected by filtration and dried to give amorphous 2-methyl-7-[N-tert.-butoxycarbonyl-2-(2-thienyl)glycyl]amino-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (0.7 g).
