Dimethylformamide → 7beta-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)acetamido-3-[2-(N-carboethoxysulfamoyl)benzoyloxy]methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

7β-Amino-3-[2-(N-carboethoxysulfamoyl)benzoyloxy]methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (457 mg) is suspended in a mixed solution of dichloromethane (5 ml) and N,N-dimethylformamide (1.0 ml) and to the mixture, a solution of (1H-tetrazol-1-yl)acetyl chloride (161 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (2 ml) is added over a period of 20 minutes and stirred for 2 hours. The solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure and to the resultant viscous residue, ethyl acetate (50 ml) and water (20 ml) are added and stirred. After separation, the ethyl acetate layer is washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. To the concentrate (5 ml), chloroform (50 ml) is added and the resultant precipitate is filtered off. The filtrate is concentrated and to the concentrate (5 ml), ether (50 ml) is added. The resultant precipitate is collected by filtration and dried over phosphorous pentoxide. The procedure provides 7β-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)acetamido-3-[2-(N-carboethoxysulfamoyl)benzoyloxy]methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (216 mg).
