PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF HIGHLY PURE CEFUROXIME AXETIL

摘要

A process for the preparation of highly pure cefuroxime axetil is herein described. The process makes use of a treatment, which allows removing an impurity present in the reagent l-acetoxyethyl bromide and responsible for the formation of cefuroxime dimeric derivatives. The removal of said impurity makes it easier to recover crystalline cefuroxime axetil and allows obtaining an exceptional-quality product.
