PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF 2-(2-AMINOTHIAZOLE-4-YL)-2-(SYN)-METHOXYIMINOACETIC ACID ESTERS

摘要

Process for the production of 2-(2-aminothiazole-4-yl)-2-(syn)-methoxyimino acetic ester. First 4-chloroacetoacetic ester is oximized and then the resultant chlorohydroxyimino ester, in solution form, reacted with thiourea to produce 2-(2-aminothiazole-4-yl)-2-(syn)-hydroxyimino acetic ester. The latter is methylated with dimethyl sulfate using phase transfer catalysis.
