Abstract

A New Synthesis of P-Lactams: 3-0~0-6-thia-2-azabicyclo[2.2.0 ]hexanes via Photochemical Reactions of N-(Thiobenzoy1)methacrylamides Summary: Irradiation of N-(thiobenzoy1)methacrylamides in benzene gave thietan-fused @-lactams in good yields, and these were converted to other p-lactams by reduction or oxidation. ... Sir: The synthesis of @-lactam compounds has been of continuing interest for many years because of the medical importance of penicillin and ...
