Studies related to penicillins. Part II. The rearrangement of 6-β-aminopenicillanic acid to 2,3-dihydro-6-methoxycarbonyl-2,2-di-methyl-1,4-thiazin-3-one
Abstract
2,3-Dihydro-6-methoxycarbonyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,4-thiazin-3-one has been isolated from the reaction of 6-β-aminopenicillanic acid with sodium nitrite in methanolic hydrogen chloride. The mechanism of this rearrangement has been investigated and a pathway is proposed.
