Abstract
7-Aminocephalosporanic acid derivatives represented by the general formula (III), ##STR1## wherein X is hydrogen, hydroxyl, acetate or a nucleophilic residue, which are useful as a starting material for the synthesis of cephalosporin type antibiotics low in toxicity and broad in pharmacological effect can be easily prepared by allowing to react cephalosporin C or its derivative represented by the general formula (I), ##STR2## wherein X is as defined above, or a salt thereof with an .alpha.-keto derivative represented by the general formula (II), ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1 is carboxyl, aroyl or amide when R.sub.2 is hydrogen, and is carboxyl when R.sub.2 is alkyl or aryl, or its salt. In this case, the yield of the 7-aminocephalosporanic acid derivatives can be remarkably improved by carrying out the reaction in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The yield can be further improved by adding thiosulfuric acid or a salt thereof after the completion of the reaction to decompose the unreacted hydrogen peroxide.
