Abstract
Highly strained, bridged oxacephem molecules with the thienamycin-type [(R)-1-hydroxyethyl] side chain at 7α, 4 and 5, were designed as possible β-lactam antibiotics. Among them, two ethano-bridged compounds, i.e. 2β,7β-ethano-1-oxacephem 18 and its N-acetylcysteaminyl derivative 21, were successfully synthesized. X-ray crystallography showed that the distortion in the oxacephem moiety was comparable to the penicillin nucleus as indicated by the h value of 0.40 Å. As suggested by this value, the antibacterial activity of 21 was very weak.Keywords
