Abstract

4-Chlorobutyryl group was used as amino protective group
for n(-)-alpha-phenylglycine (I). N-Hydroxysuccinimide ester III
was prepared in high yield but partly racemic. Reaction of III
or IV with V afforded epimeric mixtures of N,0-protected cephalexins
(VI), which can be separated by crystallisation. The 4-chlorobutyryl
group in VII was removed under very mild conditions
giving cephalexin (IX) in good yield and purity.
