Hydrochloric Acid → 7-[2-(2-Aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(2-azidoethoxyimino)acetamido]-3-(1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-[2-(2-formamidothiazol-4-yl)-2-(2-azidoethoxyimino)acetamido]-3-(1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (syn isomer, 0.9 g.), conc. hydrochloric acid (0.2 g.), methanol (10 ml.) and tetrahydrofuran (4 ml.) was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. After concentrating the resultant solution in vacuo, the residue was pulverized with a mixture of disopropyl ether and ethyl acetate (30 ml. 5:1 v/v). The precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with diisopropyl ether and dried to give 7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(2-azidoethoxyimino)acetamido]-3-(1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid hydrochloride (syn isomer, 0.8 g.).
