Hydrochloric Acid → 7-[2-(3-isoxazoly)methoxyimino-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)acetamido]-3-(1-allyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-[2-(3-isoxazolyl)methoxyimino-2-(2-formamidothiazol-4-yl)acetamido]-3-(1-allyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (syn isomer) (1.5 g), conc.hydrochloric acid (0.497 g), methanol (15 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (3 ml) was stirred for 2 hours at ambient temperature. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate. The aqueous solution was washed with ethyl acetate (25 ml) and adjusted to pH 1.5 with 10% hydrochloric acid. Precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to give 7-[2-(3-isoxazolyl)methoxyimino-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)acetamido]-3-(1-allyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (syn isomer)(0.65 g).
