Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzhydryl 7-(5-benzamido-5-benzhydryloxycarbonylpentanamido)-3-hydroxymethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (100 g) in methylene chloride (600 ml) was added at a time phosphorus pentachloride (25.6 g) at -30° C., followed by adding dropwise pyridine (9.8 g) at the same temperature. After the reaction mixture was stirred at -20° C. for an hour, it was poured into a mixture of methylene chloride (500 ml) and water (300 ml). The separated organic layer was washed with an aqueous sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate and then evaporated to dryness to obtain benzhydryl 7-(5-benzamido-5-benzhydryloxycarbonylpentanamido)-3-chloromethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (114.5 g), mp 90°-110° C. (dec.).
