English7-β-Thien-2-yl-acetamido-3-[(4-nitro-3-carboxyphenyl) thiomethyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (CENTA) is a yellow chromogenic β-lactamases (BL) substrate. It hydrolyses readily in the presence of all BL and is therefore suitable for kinetic studies, the detection of BL enzymes in crude extracts and chromatographic fractions. CENTA is commercially available at a high price because of the cumbersome synthetic protocol, the only currently available for its preparation. Here we describe a new efficient and improved process for the preparation of CENTA. Starting from the easily available 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) through a three-step synthesis, CENTA was obtained with a 75% overall yield. The newly developed process proceeds through a pivotal intermediate in cephalosporin chemistry, which may be used as starting compound for the development of new cephalosporin derivatives.
