A solution of diphenylmethyl 7-[(Z)-2-(2-tritylaminothiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-[(triphenylphosphonio)methyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate iodide* (3.0 g, 2.5 m moles) in dichloromethane (40 ml) was shaken with 1N NaOH (10 ml) until the spot of the starting material disappeared on TLC (silica gel, CHCl3 --MeOH=10:1). Organic layer was separated and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with n-hexane and the product was collected by filtration to give 2.5 g (93%) of the title compound.
