Cephem and penem compounds having a styrylmethylene moiety at the 3-position in the cephem or penem ring to which a positively charged leaving group is bonded and wherein the leaving group contains a vicinal diol or is bonded to a unsubstituted or substituted catechol. The leaving group can be a positively charge nitrogen leaving group. Cephems include cephalosporins, cephamycins, carbacephems, and oxacephems. Penems include penems, carbapenems and oxapenems. Preferred cephems are cephalosporins. Preferred penems are carbapenems. Compounds exhibit antibiotic activity against Gram-negative bacteria and/or Gram-positive bacteria. Compounds exhibit antibiotic activity against bacteria which exhibit multi-drug resistance. Compounds of the invention exhibit antibiotic activity against bacterial strains which produce extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL), which produce AmpC beta-lactamases or which produce a carbapenemase. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more cephems or penems or methods of treatment of bacterial infections with such compounds and compositions.
An enantioselective allylation reaction of allylic carbonates with sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) catalyzed by Ir complex was accomplished, providing allylic sulfonic acids in good to excellent yields with a high level of enantio‐ and regioselectivities. (R)‐2‐Phenyl‐2‐sulfoacetic acid, a key intermediate for the synthesis of Cefsulodin and Sulbenicillin, was synthesized as well.
Ir配合物催化了碳酸烯丙酯与亚硫酸钠(Na 2 SO 3)的对映选择性烯丙基化反应,提供了高至优异收率的烯丙基磺酸,并具有高水平的对映和区域选择性。(R)-2-苯基-2-磺基乙酸也合成了头孢磺啶和磺基青霉素的关键中间体。
