Reaction Steps

The Cefuroxime-but-salt may be reacted in appropriate solvent, e.g. water in combination with a water-miscible solvent, e.g. ethanol and/or acetone, in the presence of an appropriate source of sodium, e.g. the sodium salt of a carboxylic acid, such as ethyl hexanoic acid, diethylacetic acid, acetic acid; lactic acid, to form cefuroxime in the form of a sodium salt which is isolated from the reaction mixture.
