Abstract
Abstract A new method for production of a cephalosporin ester (I) which comprises reacting a derivative of an organic acid (II) with a 7-aminocephem compound (III) in the presence of an enzyme of a microorganism of one of the genera Escherichia, Bacillus, Proteus and Pseudomonas: ##SPC1## ##EQU1## ##SPC2## wherein R is an unsaturated six-membered carbocyclic ring or five-membered heterocyclic ring residue which may optionally have uncharged substituent groups; R 1 is hydrogen or an uncharged substituent group such as hydroxyl or halogen; R 2 is a hydrogen atom or an organic group which is bound through an oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen atom; COOR 3 is a group which may easily be converted to COOH.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
173 words
A method for the production of a cephalosporin of the formula: ##SPC9## wherein R is an unsaturated six-membered carbocyclic ring or five-membered heterocyclic ring residue which may have uncharged substituent(s); R 1 hydrogen, hydroxy, or halogen; R 2 is a hydrogen atom or an organic group which is bound through an oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen atom; COOR 3 is an ester group which may be easily converted to COOH, which comprises reacting a derivative of an organic acid of the formula: ##EQU4## wherein R and R 1 have the same meaning as defined above with 7-aminocephem-4-carboxilic acid ester of the formula: ##SPC10## wherein R 2 and COOR 3 have the same meaning as defined above in the presence of a culture or the enzyme containing processed matter of said culture of the microorganism of one of the genera Escherichia, Bacillus, Proteus and Pseudomonas which is able to synthesize a cephalosporin of the formula (I) from a derivative of the organic acid of the formula (II) and 7-aminocephem-4-carboxylic acid ester of the formula (III).
Claim 2
Independent Claim
173 words
A method for the production of a cephalosporin of the formula: ##SPC9## wherein R is an unsaturated six-membered carbocyclic ring or five-membered heterocyclic ring residue which may have uncharged substituent(s); R 1 hydrogen, hydroxy, or halogen; R 2 is a hydrogen atom or an organic group which is bound through an oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen atom; COOR 3 is an ester group which may be easily converted to COOH, which comprises reacting a derivative of an organic acid of the formula: ##EQU4## wherein R and R 1 have the same meaning as defined above with 7-aminocephem-4-carboxilic acid ester of the formula: ##SPC10## wherein R 2 and COOR 3 have the same meaning as defined above in the presence of a culture or the enzyme containing processed matter of said culture of the microorganism of one of the genera Escherichia, Bacillus, Proteus and Pseudomonas which is able to synthesize a cephalosporin of the formula (I) from a derivative of the organic acid of the formula (II) and 7-aminocephem-4-carboxylic acid ester of the formula (III).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
