S. Negi et al., STUDIES ON THE STABILITY OF DELTA(2) AND DELTA(3) CEPHEM ESTERS .1. MARKED DIFFERENCE IN STABILITY BETWEEN DELTA(2) AND DELTA(3) CEPHEM PRODRUG ESTERS AND APPLICATION TO THE PREPARATION OF KEY INTERMEDIATES FOR ORAL CEPHEM SYNTHESIS, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 43(11), 1995, pp. 1998-2000
The esterification of Delta(3)-cephem-4-carboxylic acid sodium salt (1
) with 1-iodoethyl isopropyl carbonate always afforded the Delta(2) ce
phem ester (3) as an inseparable minor component, However, in the cour
se of formamido cleavage reaction, the 7-amino-Delta(2)-cephem ester (
5) was observed to be less stable than the Delta(3) cephem ester (4),
which led us to develop a practical synthetic process for Delta(3) cep
hem esters, including a key intermediate of E1101, a new oral cephalos
porin.
