Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 131713031, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-[2-(2-cyclopenten-1-yl)oxyimino-2-(2-formamidothiazol-4-yl)acetamido]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (syn isomer) (1.6 g), conc. hydrochloric acid (1.1 g), methanol (20 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (15 ml) was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was evaporated. The residue was dissolved in an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and the solution was adjusted to pH 3.0 with hydrochloric acid. The precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with water and dried over phosphorus pentoxide to give 7-[2-(2-cyclopenten-1-yl)oxyimino-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)acetamido]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (syn isomer)(1.3 g). mp. 201° to 213° C. (dec.).
