Reaction Steps

Teicoplanin A2 (10 g) is added to 1 N hydrochloric acid (150 ml) preheated to 80° C. while stirring. After about 45 minutes the reaction mixture is cooled to 0°-5° C. and 37% hydrochloric acid (30 ml) is added. Stirring is maintained for about 10 minutes, after which the precipitated solid is recovered by filtration, washed with 20 ml of 2 N HCl, then with ethyl ether, and dried overnight over potassium hydroxide pellets at room temperature, resulting in the crude product of the title (8.3 g).
