Asymmetric annelation of the disilylated imine 3 generated in situ from D-threonine 2 with acid chlorides 4 and triethylamine followed by esterification provided cis-beta-lactams 5 and 6 in excellent yields with high diastereoselectivity under mild conditions. And conversion of compounds 5 into 15, derivatives of 2-oxaisocephems having a thio-substituted methyl group at the 3-position and a 2-aminothiazol-4-yl moiety at the 7-position, is described. Biological activities of the new compounds are presented. In particular, 15b showed potent antibacterial activity against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Enterococcus faecalis which cause a serious clinical problem in antibacterial chemotherapy.
