Trifluoroacetic acid → 7beta-Amino-3-[3-formamido-2-(2-formyloxyethyl)-1-pyrazolio]methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzhydryl 7β-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-[3-formamido-2-(2-formyloxyethyl)-1-pyrazolio]methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate iodide (29.5 g) and anisole (30 ml) in methylene chloride (90 ml) was added dropwise trifluoroacetic acid (60 ml) under ice-cooling. After being stirred for 1 hour at ambient temperature, the mixture was poured into a mixture of diisopropyl ether (600 ml) and ethyl acetate (600 ml). The resultant precipitate was collected by filtration to give di(trifluoroacetic acid) salt of 7β-amino-3-[3-formamido-2-(2-formyloxyethyl)-1-pyrazolio]methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (22.7 g).
