e axetil (CAS NO.: ), with other name of 1-acetoxyethyl ester, could be produced through many synthetic methods.

Following is one of the reaction routes: The reaction of 3-hydroxymethyl-7-[2-(2-furyl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (I) with chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (II) and then with sodium 2-ethylhexanoate gives sodium cefuroxime (III), which is then treated with 1-bromoethyl acetate (IV) in .
