Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of sodium 7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)acetamido]-3-vinyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (2.0 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 ml) were added iodomethyl hexanoate (3.4 g) and sodium iodide (3.1 g) in a stream of nitrogen, and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1.5 hours. After the reaction mixture was poured into a mixture of ethyl acetate (200 ml) and water (200 ml), the organic layer was separated out, washed with water and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, followed by treating with charcoal. The filtrate was concentrated, and thereto was added diisopropyl ether, followed by collecting the precipitated substance by filtration to obtain hexanoyloxymethyl 7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)acetamido]-3-vinyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (1.5 g).
