Some Lewis acid-catalysed reactions between 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 6-diazopenicillanate and ketones
Abstract
In the presence of boron trifluoride–diethyl ether, 6-diazopenicillanate (1) and acetone, cyclopentanone, and acetophenone, gave mixtures of 6α-alkyl-6β-acylpenicillanates and thiazolo-oxazinones, which had been formed via C(5)–C(6) bond cleavage.
