3-Acyloxymethyl-cephem compounds

The present invention relates to novel 3-acyloxymethyl-cephem compounds and preparations thereof. More particularly, this invention relates to the compounds of the formula (I); ##STR3## wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen or an acyl group; X is a divalent group consisting of a carbon chain having 2 to 3 carbon atoms and a carbonyl or sulfonyl group at one terminal end thereof, said divalent group being either substituted or unsubstituted on the carbon chain; and Z is an organic acid residue, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and also relates to processes for producing them.
Cephalosporin derivatives with a 3-hydroxymethyl moiety were only obtainable by enzymatic cleavage of the 3-acetyl group from 3-acetoxymethyl-cephalosporins or by separating them from the cephalosporin C fermentation by-product. Recently, it has become possible to produce 7.beta.-(D-5-amino-5-carboxyvaleramido)-3-hydroxymethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (deacetylcephalosporin C, DCPC) in high titer by fermentation (U.S. Pat. No. 3,926,726, Nature New Biology, 246, 154(1973)) and, alongside of cephalosporin C, this substance has been attracting attention as a starting material for cephalosporin compounds that could be more potent in antibiotic activity.
It has, however, been believed to be difficult to acylate the 3-hydroxymethyl group of the 3-hydroxymethyl compound (cephalosporadesic acid). For example, Heyningen [Van Heyningen: J. Med. Chem., 8, 22(1965), Advan. Drug. Res., 4, 28(1968)] reported that the O-acylation of cephalosporadesic acid was feasible only with the use of a large excess of aroyl chloride (yield 32%-57%) and that the use of ketene, aliphatic acid chloride or acetic anhydride did not cause the O-acylation, or induced a lactonization. Kukolja [J. Med. Chem., 13, 1114(1970)] reported a roundabout process for the synthesis of O-acyloxymethylcephalosporins which comprised O-acylating a 3-hydroxymethyl-2-cephem compound and then causing the latter to become isomerized to the 3-cephem compound. U.S. Pat. No. 3,532,694 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 33080/1975 disclosed a process in which, to prevent the lactonization reaction, the 4-carboxyl group of cephalosporadesic acid is first protected, for example by esterification and, then, the O-acylation is carried out. Disclosed in Japanese Patent Application as Laid Open No. 42792/1972 is a process which comprises O-acylating cephalosporadesic acid with azolide. However, these processes are not commercially profitable because they provide only low yields or/and involve troublesome and time-comsuming procedures or/and expensive reagents, for instance. Thus, for example, the esterification reaction of cephalosporadesic acid cannot be accomplished by an ordinary esterification process in which the rearrangement of the double bond or the lactonization predominates. While it is possible to introduce such limited groups as, e.g., methyl, ethyl, diphenylmethyl or benzyl by means of diazo compounds which as diazomethane, diazoethane, diphenyldiazomethane, phenyldiazomethane, for example, it is difficult, after 3-acylation, to de-esterify the compound without the accompaniment of some side reaction such as a fission of the .beta.-lactam ring or a shift of the double bond.
On the other hand, the reaction by which the 3-acetoxymethyl group of a cephalosporin compound is substituted with a nucleophilic reagent entails a concurrent decomposition of the starting material, intermediate and product in its course and a protracted reaction time, and therefore results in lower yields [A. B. Tayor, J. Chem. Soc., 7020(1965)]. Thus, it has been desired to have available a derivative possessing a group which will lend itself more readily to substitution than the acetoxy group.
To overcome the foregoing problems we undertook extensive research, which led us to the finding that the use of compounds [IV] hereinafter described as an acylating agent would enable cephalosporadesic acid to be O-acylated in a high yield, and that the O-acylated cephalosporin thus synthesized would undergo the desired substitution with a nucleophilic compound with great ease. This invention has been developed on the basis of the above findings.
The above compounds [I] include the compounds wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen, phenylacetyl, phenoxyacetyl, 5-amino-5-carboxyvaleryl whose amino or/and carboxyl groups may optionally be protected, or any of the groups found in the 6- or 7-positions of penicillin or cephalosporin derivatives, as the case may be. Thus, for example, the acyl group R.sup.1 may be chosen from among aliphatic acyl groups such as formyl, acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, isobutyryl, valeryl, isovaleryl, cyclopentylcarbonyl, cyclohexylcarbonyl, cycloheptylcarbonyl, cyclopentylacetyl, cyclohexadienylacetyl, etc.; aromatic acyl groups such as benzoyl, p-nitrobenzoyl, toluoyl, naphthoyl, etc.; mono-substituted aliphatic acyl groups such as 2-thienylacetyl, cyanoacetyl, acetoacetyl, 4-chloro-3-oxobutyryl, 4-bromo-3-oxobutyryl, chloroacetyl, bromoacetyl, 4-methylthio-3-oxobutyryl, 4-carbamoylmethylthio-3-oxobutyryl, .alpha.-phenoxypropionyl, .alpha.-phenoxybutyryl, tetrazolylthioacetyl, tetrazolylacetyl, p-nitrophenylacetyl, trifluoromethylthioacetyl, trifluoromethylsulfinylacetyl, trifluoromethylsulfonylacetyl, cyanomethylthioacetyl, thiadiazolylthioacetyl, p-nitrophenylacetyl, (2-pyridyloxy)acetyl, (2-oxo-4-thiazolin-4-yl)acetyl, (2-imino-4-thiazolin-4-yl)acetyl, (2-thioxo-4-thiazolin-4-yl)acetyl, 4-pyridylthioacetyl, (3-sydnone)acetyl, 1-pyrazolylacetyl, 2-furylacetyl, (2-oxo-3-methylpyridazinyl)thioacetyl, (2-aminomethylphenyl)acetyl, (2-aminomethylcyclohexenyl)acetyl, etc.; di-substituted aliphatic acyl groups such as .alpha.-carboxyphenylacetyl, mandelyl, .alpha.-sulfophenylacetyl, .alpha.-sulfo-(p-aminophenyl)acetyl, phenylglycyl, (4-hydroxyphenyl)glycyl, (4-methylthiophenyl)glycyl, (4-methoxyphenyl)glycyl, (4-methanesulfinylphenyl)glycyl, (3-methanesulfonamidophenyl)glycyl, 1-cyclohexenylglycyl, thienylglycyl, furylglycyl, cyclohexadienylglycyl, (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)glycyl, etc.; 5-methyl-3-phenyl-4-isoxazolylcarbonyl; 3-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-5-methyl-4-isoxazolylcarbonyl; and so forth. It should be understood that the above-mentioned groups are only illustrative of the acyl groups that are capable of use for the purposes of this invention, but preferred acyl groups may be represented by the formula (A): ##STR4## wherein R.sup.4 represents a group such as, for example, acetyl, halogenoacetyl, phenyl, p-hydroxyphenyl, thienyl, 2-imino-4-thiazolin-4-yl, 2-oxo-4-thiazolin-4-yl, tetrazolyl, phenoxy, 3-amino-3-carboxypropyl, and R.sup.5 represents a substituent such as, for example, hydrogen, sulfo, amino or hydroxy, etc.
It should also be understood that any functional groups, e.g. amino or/and carboxyl, in such acyl groups may be suitably protected by conventional protective groups. Thus, among such protective groups for the amino groups are aromatic acyl groups such as phthaloyl, benzoyl, p-nitrobenzoyl, toluoyl, naphthoyl, p-tert-butylbenzoyl, p-tert-butylbenzenesulfonyl, phenylacetyl, benzenesulfonyl, phenoxyacetyl, toluenesulfonyl, chlorobenzoyl, etc.; aliphatic acyl groups such as acetyl, valeryl, capryl, n-decanoyl, acryloyl, pivaloyl, camphorsulfonyl, methanesulfonyl, chloroacetyl, etc.; esterified carboxyl groups such as tert-butoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, isobornyloxycarbonyl, phenyloxycarbonyl, trichloroethoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, .beta.-methylsulfonylethoxycarbonyl, etc.; carbamoyl groups such as methylcarbamoyl, phenylcarbamoyl, naphthylcarbamoyl, etc.; the corresponding thiocarbamoyl groups; 2-methoxycarbonyl-1-methylvinyl; and so forth. As protective groups for the carboxyl groups of such acyls R.sup.1 and the 4-carboxyl group of the cephem ring, there may be mentioned methyl, ethyl, tert-butyl, tert-amyl, benzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, p-methoxybenzyl, benzhydryl, 1-indanyl, phenacyl, phenyl, p-nitrophenyl, methoxymethyl, ethoxymethyl, benzyloxymethyl, acetoxymethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl, .beta.-methylsulfonylethyl, methylthiomethyl, trityl, .beta.,.beta.,.beta.-trichloroethyl, silyl groups such as trimethylsilyl, dimetlylsilyl, etc.; and so forth. These carboxyl groups, however, may be preferably in the form of inorganic or organic salts with alkali metals such as lithium, sodium, potassium, etc.; alkaline earth metals such as calcium, magnesium, or various amines such as dicyclohexylamine, triethylamine, tributylamine, di-n-butylamine, di-n-propylamine and so forth.
The divalent group X means a hydrocarbon group which has a carbonyl or sulfonyl group at one of its terminal ends and which is normally able to form a five-membered or six-membered ring with ##STR5## and may be interrupted by, or include at one terminal end thereof, an unsaturation such as a double bond or oxygen or/and sulfur atoms. The hydrocarbon chain may further carry suitable substituents. As examples of such substituents on said hydrocarbon chain, there may be mentioned alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, etc.; aralkyl groups such as benzyl, phenethyl, etc.; and aryl groups such as phenyl, tolyl, etc. Where two or more such substituents are present, they may form a cyclic structure with the hydrocarbon chain. The symbol Z is a group exemplified by lower alkoxycarbonyl groups such as methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, etc.; acyl groups such as acetyl, propionyl, benzoyl, chloroacetyl, etc.; other organic acid residues, e.g. sulfonyl derivatives such as phenylsulfonyl, tosyl, mesyl, etc.; and carbamoyl groups; phosphorous derivatives such as diethylphosphoro, dimethylphosphono, diethylphosphino, dimethylphosphino, and so forth.
Those compounds [I] can be produced by reacting a compound of the formula: ##STR6## wherein R.sup.3 is hydrogen or an acyl group, with a compound of the general formula: ##STR7## wherein the various symbols are as defined above.
Thus, compound [IV] is exemplified by N-carboethoxyphthalimide, N-carbomethoxypathalimide, 4-nitro-N-carboethoxyphthalimide, 3-nitro-N-carboethoxyphthalimide, N-carboethoxysuccinimide, N-carbomethoxysuccinimide, N-tosylphthalimide, N-methylsulfonylphthalimide, N-benzenesulfonylphthalimide, N-acetylphthalimide, N-chloroacetylphthalimide, N-acetylsuccinimide, N-carboethoxysaccharin, N-acetylsaccharin, N-benzoylsaccharin, N-carboethoxymaleimide, N-carboethoxyglutarimide, N-carboethoxy-(p-chlorophenyl)succinimide, N-carboethoxyisatin, N-carbomethoxyisatin, N-acetylisatin, N-(methylcarbamoyl)isatin, N-(phenylcarbamoyl)isatin, N-(.beta.-methylsulfonylethoxycarbonyl)isatin, N-(diethylphosphoro)succinimide, N-(dimethylphosphoro)succinimide, N-(dimethylphosphino)succinimide, N-(diethylphosphino)phthalimide and so forth.
Generally the reaction of compound [II] with compound [IV] is conveniently carried out in the presence of an appropriate inert solvent. Among the common solvents used in this reaction are dichloromethane, chloroform, dichloroethane, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dioxane, ether and mixtures of such solvents. This reaction is a stoichiometrically equivalent reaction, that is to say, [II] and [IV] may be reacted in equimolar proportions, although an excess of [IV] may be used to hasten the reaction, to compensate for the decomposition of [IV] or for other considerations. Generally the reaction may be conducted at room temperature or under cooling (for example, -10.degree. C. to -40.degree. C.), preferably at 0.degree. to 30.degree. C. The reaction normally goes to completion within a short time, but in view of the nature of the reaction, which is somewhat temperature-dependent, the reaction is usually carried out for 0.5 to 15 hours so as to ensure a thorough completion of the reaction. If necessary, an amine exemplified by triethylamine may be added to the reaction system. Where the starting compounds [II] is an alkali metal salt, a salt interchange may be effected by the addition of an equivalent of triethylamine hydrochloride or the like before the said reaction is conducted.
Where starting compounds [II] contain a free, unprotected amino group, this amino group is acylated simulteneously with the acylation of the 3-hydroxyl group by the same acyl group under the conditions of this reaction. In other words, the protective group for amino in the acyl group includes the acyl groups formed on reaction with [IV] in addition to the groups mentioned hereinbefore. The N-acylated compound [I] or [II] wherein R.sup.1 or R.sup.3 is an acyl group respectively, when necessary, may be converted to the corresponding compound wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen by cleaving the N-acyl group off in a manner conventional per se. The meaning of R.sup.3 only differs from that of R.sup.1 in these cases.
The resultant compound [I] not only has antibiotic activity as such but is ready to react with a nucleophilic compound to have the residue of said nucleophilic compound introduced into the 3-methyl group of the cephalosporin to give the compound represented by the formula [III]: ##STR8## wherein R.sup.2 stands for a residue of a nucleophilic compound and R.sup.1 has the same meaning as defined before.
As to the nucleophilic compound used for this reaction, any compound able to replace the 3-acetoxy groups of cephalosporins may be used. Furthermore, this reaction proceeds far faster than the reaction of the 3-acetoxy compound, with an additional advantage that a substituent group which does react with the 3-acetoxy compound, which is less active, only in poor yields can be successfully introduced.
Therefore, among such nucleophilic compounds are nitrogen-containing heterocyclic thiols which contain one or more nitrogen atoms which may optionally be in the form of oxide or/and which contain such atoms as oxygen or/and sulfur in addition to the nitrogen atom, with or without nuclear substitution. As common examples of the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group of such a thiol compound, there may be mentioned pyridyl, N-oxidepyridyl, pyrimidyl, pyridazinyl, N-oxidepyridazinyl, pyrazolyl, diazolyl, thiazolyl, 1,2,3-thiadiazolyl, 1,2,4-thiadiazolyl, 1,3,4-thiadiazolyl, 1,2,5-thiadiazolyl, 1,2,3-oxadiazolyl, 1,2,4-oxadiazolyl, 1,3,4-oxadiazolyl, 1,2,5-oxadiazolyl, 1,2,3-triazolyl, 1,2,4-triazolyl, 1H-tetrazolyl, 2H-tetrazolyl and so on. As the substituents on such nitrogen-containing heterocyclic groups, there may be mentioned such monovalent groups as hydroxy, mercapto, amino, carboxyl, carbamoyl, lower alkyl (for example, methyl, ethyl, trifluoromethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl or isobutyl), lower alkoxy (for example, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy or butoxy), halogens (e.g. chlorine or bromine), and various substituent groups attached through lower alkylene groups, --S--, --N-- or other polyvalent groups. When such polyvalent groups are lower alkylene groups, the substituents may, for example, be hydroxy, mercapto, amino, morpholino, carboxyl, sulfo, carbamoyl, alkoxycarbonyl, lower alkylcarbamoyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulfonyl, acyloxy, morpholinocarbonyl and so on. When such a polyvalent group is --S-- or --N--, the substituents may be lower alkyls or lower alkylene groups having the aforementioned substituents. When the polyvalent group is --N--, such substituents as carboxyl, alkoxycarbonyl, acyl, carbamoyl or lower alkylcarbamoyl may be directly attached. More particularly, there may be mentioned, for example, substituted alkyl groups such as carboxymethyl, carbamoylmethyl, N-lower alkylcarbamoylmethyl (e.g. N,N-dimethylcarbamoylmethyl), hydroxy lower alkyl (e.g. hydroxymethyl or 2-hydroxyethyl), acyloxy lower alkyl (e.g. acetoxymethyl or 2-acetoxyethyl), alkoxycarbonylmethyl (e.g. methoxycarbonylmethyl, hexyloxycarbonylmethyl or octyloxycarbonylmethyl), methylthiomethyl, methylsulfonylmethyl, N-lower alkylamino lower alkyl (e.g. N,N-dimethylaminomethyl, N,N-dimethylaminoethyl or N,N,N-trimethylammoniumethyl), morpholinomethyl; substituted amino groups such as lower alkylamino (e.g. methylamino), sulfo-lower alkylamino (e.g. 2-sulfoethylamino), hydroxylower alkylamino (e.g. hydroxyethylamino), lower alkylamino-lower alkylamino (e.g. 2-dimethylaminoethylamino or 2-trimethylammoniumethylamino), acylamino (e.g. acetylamino), 2-dimethylaminoacetylamino, 2-trimethylammoniumacetylamino or lower alkoxycarbonylamino (e.g. methoxycarbonylamino), etc.; and substituted thio (mercapto) groups such as methylthio, 2-hydroxyethylthio, 2-acyloxyethylthio (e.g. 2-acetoxyethylthio, 2-phenylacetoxyethylthio or 2-caproyloxyethylthio), carboxymethylthio, alkoxycarbonylmethylthio (e.g. methoxycarbonylthio or hexyloxycarbonylmethylthio), carbamoylmethylthio, N-lower alkylcarbamoylmethylthio (e.g. N,N-dimethylcarbamoylmethylthio), acetylmethylthio, N-lower alkylamino-lower alkylthio (e.g. 2-N,N-dimethylaminoethylthio or 2-N,N,N-trimethylammoniumethylthio), morpholinocarbonylmethylthio, 2-sulfoethylthio and so on. More particularly, there may be mentioned various heterocyclic thiols such as tetrazolethiol, methyltetrazolethiol, phenyltetrazolethiol, (2-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl)tetrazolethiol, methylthiadiazolethiol, hydroxyethylthiothiadiazolethiol, methylthiothiadiazolethiol, thiadiazolethiol, carbamoylaminothiadiazolethiol, carbamoylmethylthiothiadiazolethiol, thiazolethiol, methylthiazolethiol, carboxymethylthiazolethiol, triazolethiol, dimethyltriazolethiol, pyrazolethiol, ethoxycarbonylmethyltriazolethiol, imidazolethiol, methyloxadiazolethiol, pyridinethiol, pyrimidinethiol, methylpyridazinethiol, triazinethiol and so on. In addition, use may also be made of such nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds as aliphatic or aromatic thiols, e.g. methanethiol, ethanethiol or thiophenol; thiourea and its derivatives such as N-methylthiourea or N-methyl-N'-pyridylthiourea; thioamide derivatives such as thiosemicarbazide, thioacetamide or thiobenzamide; sodium thiosulfate, sodium sulfite, potassium thiocyanate or sodium azide; pyridine and pyridine derivatives such as quinoline, picoline, nicotinic acid, nicotinamide, isonicotinamide, isonicotinic acid hydrazide, m-bromopyridine, pyridinesulfonic acid, pyridine-m-carbinol (3-hydroxymethylpyridine), pyridinaldehyde, quinoline or isoquinoline, etc.; and such other nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds as pyrazine, pyrazinamide (2-carbamoylpyrazine), pyridazine, pyrimidine, imidazole, 1-methylimidazole, pyrazol and so forth. It is also possible to employ carbon nucleophilic agents toward which the 3-position is known to be refractory. As examples of such carbon nucleophilic reagents, there may be mentioned cyanides, pyrrole, substituted pyrrole, indole, acetylene, active methylene compounds, e.g. acetylacetone, acetoacetic acid esters, malonic acid esters, cyclohexane-1,3-dione, triacetylmethane or enamine compounds. Alcohols such as, for example, methanol, ethanol or propanol may also be employed in this reaction.
The substitution reaction between such a nucleophilic compound and a compound of formula [I] is normally conducted in a solvent. As said solvent, water may be mentioned as the commonest solvent, although a mixture of water and a reaction-inert hydrophilic solvent, e.g. acetone, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, methanol, ethanol, dimethylsulfoxide or the like, may likewise be employed. The reaction may also be conducted even in a non-aqueous system. While compound [I] may be a free compound, it is more appropriate to react [I] in the form of an alkali metal salt, e.g. the salt of sodium, potassium or the like, or an organic amine salt, e.g. the salt of triethylamine, trimethylamine or the like. The nucleophilic compound, too, is reacted either in the free form or as an alkali metal salt or organic amine salt. The proper amount of said nucleophilic compound used in the reaction is not less than one equivalent based on compound [I]. While it depends upon the types of nucleophilic compound and compound [I], this reaction is preferably conducted generally under weakly acid to weakly alkaline conditions in cases where an aqueous solvent is employed. While the reaction temperature depends largely upon the nature of compound [I] and cannot be specified in general terms, it is preferably within the range of 10.degree. C. to 70.degree. C. It is also possible to accomplish a direct synthesis of [III] by causing the nucleophilic reagent to be present concomitantly in the reaction system of [II] and IV]. The reaction time cannot be specified in general terms, either, for it depends upon the reaction temperature, pH, type of nucleophilic reagent and other factors. Roughly speaking, however, the reaction goes to completion in 30 minutes to 2 hours when the reaction temperature is 60.degree. C. The reaction may also be carried out in the presence of, as added to the reaction system, an inorganic salt, e.g. the chloride, bromide, iodide, thiocyanide or nitrate of lithium, sodium, potassium, ammonium or the like. At any event, the feasibility of the nucleophilic substitution reaction at such a low temperature and in a non-aqueous phase prevents decomposition of compound [I] and permits synthesis of the compound which cannot be synthesized in an aqueous phase. Where [I] has a high activity such that it will be readily substituted by a nucleophilic reagent at room temperature, for example in the case of an isatin derivative, [I] need not be isolated, but [III] may be directly synthesized by allowing a nucleophilic compound to be present in the reaction system when [II] is reacted with [IV].
The compound [I] wherein R.sup.1 is an acyl group can be converted to the corresponding compound wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen by cleaving the 7-acyl group off in a manner conventional per se (e.g any of the procedures set forth in Japanese Patent Publication No.13862/1966 and No.40899/1970, Japanese Patent Application As Laid Open No.34387/1972, No. 95292/1975 and No.96591/1975, Japanese Patent Publication No.35079/1975 or United States Patent No. 3632578).
Into this compound may be introduced a compound which has previously been mentioned by way of example for R.sup.1 as the 6- or 7-substituents of penicillin or cephalosporin compounds, by previously activating the same in a known manner. Thus, for example, the compound wherein R.sup.1 is 4-halogeno-3-oxobutyryl can be obtained by reacting the said compound with a 4-halogeno-3-oxobutyryl halide which, in turn, may be reacted with thiourea to produce the 7-[2-(2-imino-4-thiazolin-4-yl)acetamido]-compound. While it depends somewhat on the type of 3-substituent, these compounds invariably display excellent antibiotic activity. For example, the compound with 1-methyltetrazol-5-ylthiomethyl in 3-position is particularly useful, approximately the same effect being accomplished with this compound at a dose about one-fifth that of cefazolin.

EXAMPLE 3
In N,N-dimethylformamide (0.4 l) is suspended deacetylcephalosporin C sodium monohydrate (purity 90%, 100 g) and, with the addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.04 l), the suspension is stirred for 30 minutes. To this reaction mixture is added N,N-dimethylformamide (0.3 l) and, then, N-carboethoxyphthalimide (200 g) and triethylamine (0.2 l) are added in the order mentioned. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. This reaction mixture is poured in an ice-cooled mixture of ethyl acetate (1.5 l), concentrated hydrochloric acid (120 ml) and 14% aqueous sodium chloride (2.0 l), followed by stirring for 20 minutes. The ethyl acetate layer is taken and the aqueous layer is extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extracts are pooled and rinsed with 14% aqueous sodium chloride. To this ethyl acetate solution is gently added a 4.75% aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate (10 l), followed by stirring for 15 minutes. The aqueous layer is taken and, following addition of sodium chloride (300 g) and with stirring, a mixture of 5-mercapto-1-methyl-1H-tetrazole (32 g), sodium hydrogen carbonate (17 g) and water (0.12 l) is added.
