Description

~55~
The object of the present invention is a neW process for preparing cephalosporins starting from suitably subskituted thiazoline~azetidinones.
The conversion step from the penicillanic framework ko the cephalosporanic framework has been achieved chemically for the first kime by treaking sulphoxides of penicillins with acetic anhydride ~R.R.Chauve~te, J.Org. Chem. 36; 1971, p. 1259) or with acid catalysks (Belgian Pakenk No. 747,119). More recently the kransformation of the sulphoxide of penicillins into cephalosporins, in the presence of azodicarboxylate, has been reported (S.Terao, Chem. Corp. 1304,1972), wikh low yields and in mixture with other products.
The object of the present invention is ko obtain cephalosporins by a completely original process as indicaked diagrammakically hereinafter.
