Abstract

N-blocked amino acids, particularly derived from natural sources such as fermentation liquors, are extractively esterified from aqueous media by treatment of the aqueous solution with a diazoalkane, e.g. diphenyldiazomethane, in the presence of a water-immiscible organic solvent. Useful applications of the process include the extractive esterification of N-blocked derivatives of cephalosporin C and desacetyl cephalosporin C from fermentation broths.
