Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzhydryl 7-[2-methoxyimino-2-(2-formamidothiazol-4-yl)acetamido]-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (syn isomer) (2.2 g) in methanol (11 ml) was added conc. hydrochloric acid (0.72 ml) and the resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 hours. To the reaction mixture were added water and ethyl acetate, the mixture was adjusted to pH 7.0 with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, the separated organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate. The solution was evaporated in vacuo to give benzhydryl 7-[2-methoxyimino-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-acetamido]-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (syn isomer) (1.98 g).
