Synthesis

Injectable semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotic related to cefamandole, q.v.

Cefonicid synthesis:[2][3]

Cefonicid is synthesized conveniently by nucleophilic displacement of the 3-acetoxy moiety of 1 with the appropriately substituted tetrazole thiole 2. The mandelic acid amide C-7 side chain is reminiscent of cefamandole.
