Patent References 3822256 Method for producing pure crystalline antibiotic products Patent #: 4912211 InventorsAssigneeApplicationNo. 617804 filed on 11/20/1990US Classes:540/230, Alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl or alkanoyloxyalkyl bonded directly to 3 position540/215, 1-thia-5-aza-bicyclo(4.2.0)octane (including unsaturated; e.g., cepham, etc.)540/228Alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl or alkanoyloxyalkyl bonded directly to 3 positionExaminersPrimary: Rizzo, Nicholas S.Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassC07D 501/12AbstractA process for preparing a well crystallized alkali metal salt of 3, 7-substituted 7-aminocephalosporanic acid derivatives having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein: R1= ##STR2## R2 =CH3 or C1 M=Na or Kfrom the acid-form derivatives. The process includes preparing a 30% suspension by weight of the acid-form derivative in concentrate alcohol containing 3 to 7% of water by weight, and add an alcoholic solution of alkali base to the suspension under room temperature. The alcohol used to dissolve the base also contains 3 to 7% of water. After a reaction time of 5 to 20 minutes, cool the mixture and let the salt crystallize, and separate the latter from the liquid phase. |
