Studies on orally active cephalosporins. II. Synthesis and structure-activity relations of new ((E) or (Z) 3-substituted carbamoyloxy)-1-propenyl cephalosporins.
In an effort to find a new oral cephalosporin with well-balanced antibacterial spectrum, good oral absorbability and long plasma half-life, a series of oxyimino aminothiazolyl 3-[(E)- or (Z)-N-substituted carbamoyloxy]propenyl cephems was synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial activity and oral absorbability. The substituents of the carbamoyloxy group affected their in vitro activity and bioavailability
A highly enantioselectiveallylic substitution of (Z)-but-2-ene-1,4-diol derivatives was developed using a rhodium(I) catalyst and arylboronic acids as nucleophiles. The reaction yields versatile homoallylicalcohols from readily available linear biscarbonates. homoallylicalcohols - rhodium - boronic acids - desymmetrization - asymmetric allylic substitution
