Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-[2-(2-formamidothiazol-5-yl)-acetamido]-3-vinyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (4.67 g) and conc. hydrochloric acid (4.67 g) in methanol (93 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (46 ml) was stirred at 30° C. for 4 hours. After the organic solvent was removed by evaporation, to the residue was added water (70 ml), followed by adjusting to pH 6 to 7 with 10% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. After the insoluble substance was removed by filtration, the filtrate was adjusted to pH 3.0 with 10% hydrochloric acid under cooling, followed by stirring at the same temperature for 20 minutes. The precipitated substance was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to give a residue, which was dissolved in an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and then chromatographed on alumina (12 ml) using 5% aqueous sodium acetate as an eluent. The fractions containing the desired compound were collected and acidified to pH 3.1 with 10% hydrochloric acid, and the precipitated substance was collected by filtration and then dried to give 7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-5-yl)acetamido]-3-vinyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (1.52 g), mp>290° C.
