Hydrochloric Acid → Diphenylmethyl 7beta-amino-3-[(1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl)thio]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of diphenylmethyl 7β-formamido-3-[(1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl)thio]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (3.99 g) in a mixture of methanol (20 ml) and THF (10 ml) was added concentrated hydrochloric acid (2.75 ml) at the room temperature. After stirring at the same temperature for 4 hours, the mixture was poured into a mixture of ice water and ethyl acetate. The mixture was adjusted to pH 4 with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer was separated washed with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated to give diphenylmethyl 7β-amino-3-[(1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl)thio]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (3.24 g).
