Abstract

The synthesis of a new series of 1β-methylcarbapenems having cyclic sulfonamide moieties is described. Their in vitro antibacterial activities against both Gram-positive and Gram- negative bacteria were tested and the effect of substituent on the pyrrolidine ring was investigated. A particular compound (IIIi) having 2-methyl-[1, 2, 6] thiadiazinan-1, 1-dioxide moiety showed the most potent antibacterial activity.
