Abstract
The objective was to synthesize (Z)-2-(5-Amino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)-2-ethoxyiminoacetic acid (the side chain for Ceftaroline fosamil). Oximation and alkylation were used on cyanoacetamide to get 2-cyano-2-hydroxyiminoacetamide, which became 2-ethyoxyiminopropanedinitrile through reaction with phosphorus oxychloride, and then aminolysis to get 2-ethoxyiminopropanedinitrile, which became 2-ethoxyimion-2-(5-amino-1,2,4 thiadiazol-3-yl) acetonitrile by brominating and with KSCN, followed by hydrolysis to get (Z)-2-(5-Amino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)-2-ethoxyiminoacetic acid.
