(CAS NO.: ), with other name of Sodium cefoperazone, could be produced through many synthetic methods.

Following is one of the synthesis routes:
alpha-(4-Ethyl-2,3-dioxo-1-piperazinocarbonylamino)-p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (I) is condensed with 7-amino-3-[(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thiomethyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (II) in the presence of ethyl chlorocarbonate and N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide in acetonitrile to produce Cefoperazone sodium.
