title: Microwave-enhanced dehydration and solvent washing purification of penicillin G sulfoxide.
abstract: In the present study, a new microwave-enhanced dehydration and solvent washing purification of penicillin G sulfoxide technique has been developed. The results show that microwave irradiation can dehydrate penicillin G sulfoxide from a water content of 14-26 to below 0.5% in 40-60 min in N2 or air. After washing with ethyl acetate to remove impurities and residual water, the penicillin G sulfoxide can be used to synthesize cephalosporanic acid. The recovery of cephalosporanic acid was equal to and the purity of cephalosporanic acid was higher by 2% than that of the current dehydration technique. FTIR spectroscopy was used to study the process of microwave-enhanced dehydration and solvent washing purification of penicillin G sulfoxide.
