STARTING MATERIALS
2-Furoylc~anide
To a suspenslon of 26.1 g. (0.4 mole) of ground
potassium cyanlde ln 300 ml. of acetonitrlle at 5 C. was
~dded 26.1 g. (0.2 mole) of n-furoyl chloride while keeping
the temperature below 8 C. The mixture was stirred ln
the cold for 15 minutes then heated at reflux for 30
mlnutes. The reaction was cooled, filtered and the aceto-
nltrile was removed at 15 mm. (steam-bath) leavlng 24.5 g.
of a dark oil which was used without further purlflcation.
An infrared spectrum showed a nltriie band at 2æ5 cm 1.
2-Furane~lyoxYlic Acid
.
The 24.5 g. of crude 2-furoylcyanide was mixed
with 160 ml. concentrated hydrochloric acid at 25 C. with
intermlttent stirring. The reactLon was stored for 24
hours at 25 C. and diluted with 130 ml. of water. The
reaction was stirred for 5 minutes and filtered. The fil-
trate was ~aturated w~th sodium chloride and extracted with
5 x 120 ml. of 1:1 ether-ethyl acetate solution. The extracts
were combined, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and
evaporatèd at ~0 C. (1~ mm.) to give a brownish-orange
solid. The solid was disqolved ln methanol, treated with
charcoal and evaporated under reduced pressure (15 mm.) to
dryness to yield 17 g. of the acid.
The product was recrystallized from toluene to give
11.5 g. (m.p. 76D C.). The ir and nmr spectra were consis-
tent for the structure.
2-Methoxyimino-2-furylacetic Acid

The solution was stirred at pH 4-5 at 25 C. ~or 24 hours.
The alcohol was removed under reduced pres6ure (15 mm.) and
the solution was ad~usted to pH 7-8 with 50% sodium
hydroxide solution. The reaction was extracted wlth 3 x
~0 ml. of ether and the aqueous layer was ad~usted to pH
1.9 using concentrated hydrochlorlc acld. The mixture was
extracted with 5 x 50 ml. of ethyl acetate. The organlc
fractlons were combined, washed wlth brlne, dried over
anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced
pressure (15 mm.) to an oil ~hlch was cooled ~or one hour
in an ice bath. The product was slurried with Skellysolve
B and collected to yield 3.1 g. o~ yellow crystals, m.p.
78 C. An analytlcal sample wa~; recrystallized from
toluene, dried for 16 hours in ~acuo over P205 at 25 C.
The ir and nmr spectra were consistent for the structure.

; pH 7 with 50% sodium hydroxide. The 6.83 g. (0.070 mole)
; of ethoxyamine hydrochloride ln 10 ml. o~ water was added,
while keeping the pH at 4-5. The reaction was diluted
with 25 ml. of alcohol, stirred 3 hours at room tempera-
ture and then ~iltered. The alcohol was removed at 35
C. (15 mm.) and the aqueous portlon was ad~usted wlth
` dllute sodium hydroxide solution to pH 7-8 and then

was washed with ether ~nd the washes were discarded. The
aqueous ~raction was ad~usted wlth 6N hydrochIoric acid
to pH 1.5 and extracted into ~ x 80 ml. of ethyl acetate.
me acetate fractions were comblned, washed with brine
and reduced ln volume at 35 C. (15 mm.~ to an oil. The
oil was cooled in an ice bath, triturated with Skellysolve
B, collected and dried over P205 in vacuo at 25 C.
Yield: 4.8 g., m.p. 83-85 C. The ir and nmr were con-

Sodlum a-Ethoxyimino-~-(2-furyl)acetate
To 50 ml. of methanol was added 250 mg. (0.0109

had dissolved. This sodium methoxide solution was treated
with 2.0 g. (0.0109 mole) of ~-ethoxyimino-a-(2-furyl)acetic
acld dissolved in 10 ml. of methanol and stirred at room
temperature for one hour. The methanol was remo~ed at
40 C. (1~ mm.) and the product was dried ln ~acuo over

used without further purification (49% yield of product).
Furyl-2-glyoxylic Acid 2
The 51 g. of crude 2-furoyl cyanlde 1 was
mixed with 500 ml. concentrated hydrochloric acld at
25 C. The reaction was stirred for 24 hours at 25~ C.
and then diluted with 240 ml. of water. The mlxture was
stirred for 5 minutes and filtered. The black filtrate
was saturated with sodium chloride and extracted with
6 x 500 ml. of 1:1 ether-ethyl acetate solution. (Note:
Initially the extractions were difficult due to the
inability to see the separation of two black phases. As
additional ether-ethyl acetate extractions were run the
task was slmplified.) The extracts were combined and
evaporated to dryness at 60 C. (15 mm.). The resultant
solld was dissolved in 600 ml. ether, (Note: Use of
alcohol should be a~oided at this point as es~ers may

found to contain a ratio of approxlmately 56/44 o~
product 2/furoic acid. This represented a 63% yield
of product 2.
Puri~ication was accomplished by dissolving

dissolving the product 2 ln toluene at 50 mg./ml. at
80~ C., decanting, and leaving to crystallize at room
temperature for 18 hours, yielding 13.3 g. of pure acid

_
A mixture of D(-)-mandelic acid (1, 1.52 g.,
10 m.mole) and dichloroacetyl chloride (4.41 g., 30
m.mole) was heated at 80-85 C. for 1.5 hrs. and the
excess dichloroacetyl chloride was removed under diminished
pressure. To the residue was added thionyl chloride (2.5
ml.) and the mixture was heated under reflux for 1.5 hrs.
Excess thionyl chloride was removed by distillation and
dry benzene was added. Evaporation was repeated. The
residual oil was kept over KOH at 1 mm Hg overnight at
room temperature to remove dichloroacetyl chloride.

When the compounds are first prepared in

and/or solubilizing agent a sterile, anhydrous solid
`:
6uch as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate or lithium
carbonate(e.g. in about 5 or 6 percent by weight of the
welght of the cephalosporin) or such as L-lysine, argi-
` nlne or histidine (e.g. in about 20-50% by weight of
the weight ol the cephalosporin) or such as a sodium,
potassium or ealcium salt Or levulinic acid, cltric acid,
ascorbic acid, tartaric acid or pyruvic acid (e.g. in

When the compounds are first prepared in
the form of the ~ree acid they are converted to the
desired, highly ~ater soluble potassiwn salt by treat-
ment with potassium 2-ethylhexanoate using the procedure
- of Example 20.
It is occasionally advantageous to have ad-
mixed with said solid cephalosporin as a stabilizing
and~or solubilizing agent a sterile, anhydrous solld
such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate or llthium
carbona~e(e.g. in about 5 or 6 percent by weight of the
weight of the cephalosporin) or such as L-lysine, argi-
; nine or histidine (e.g. in about 20-50~o by weight of
the weight ot the cephalosporin) or such as a s~dium,
potassium or calcium salt of levulinic acid, citric acid,
ascorbic acid, tartaric acid or pyruvic acid (e.g. in
about 25-200~ by weight of the weight of the cephalos-
porin) or such as sodium bicarbonate, ammonium car-
bamate~alkali metal or ammonium phosphates or N-methyl-
glucamine (per U.K. 1,380~741).
