Reaction Steps

The resultant crude protected Cefaclor mixture is worked up by treating with a mixture of 13.5 ml ice-water and 2.0 ml concentrated HCl and stirred for 25 minutes while cooling with ice. The aqueous phase is separated off and the organic phase is back-extracted with 1.25 ml ice-water. The combined aqueous phases are mixed with 30 ml dimethylformamide, and the resulting suspension is cooled to 15° C., filtered and the solid washed with 8 ml dimethylformamide, which are added to the filtrate. The final solution is treated slowly with concentrated aqueous ammonia to bring the pH to 6.8. The cristalline suspension is stirred at 20° C. for 1 hour, filtered and the crystals washed with 16 ml acetone. After drying, 5.86 g of the title compound were obtained as dimethylformamide solvate.
