Abstract The objective was to synthesize (Z)-2-(5-Amino-1, 2, 4-thiadiazol-3-yl)-2- ethoxyiminoacetic acid (the side chain for Ceftaroline fosamil). Oximation and alkylation were used on cyanoacetamide to get 2-cyano-2-hydroxyiminoacetamide, which became 2- ethyoxyiminopropanedinitrile through reaction with phosphorus oxychloride, and then aminolysis to get 2-ethoxyiminopropanedinitrile, which became 2-ethoxyimion-2-(5-amino ...
