Abstract
The disulphide corresponding to the above thiol has been synthesised but all attempts to reduce this substance to the thiol have been unsuccessful, although an alternative procedure, via a thiomercury intermediate, enabled the thiol to be generated in situ; the properties of this thiol, however, are not in accord with those described for a putative intermediate in penicillin biosynthesis.Keywords
