Hydrochloric Acid → 7-[2-(2-Aminothiazol-4yl)-2-n-hexyloxyiminoacetamido]-3-chloro-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-[2-(2-formamidothiazol-4-yl)-2-n-hexyloxyiminoacetamido]-3-chloro-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (syn isomer, 2.4 g.), conc.hydrochloric acid (1.84 g.), methanol (36 ml.) and tetrahydrofuran (30 ml.) was stirred at 30° C. for 2 hours. The resultant solution was concentrated in vacuo. Water (60 ml.) was added to the residue and the precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with water and dried over phosphorus pentoxide to give 7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4yl)-2-n-hexyloxyiminoacetamido]-3-chloro-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (syn isomer, 1.86 g.).
